Many have speculated as to why Le Tissier only got eight England caps, given his incredible goalscoring record at Southampton.

Some say it’s because he wasn’t playing for a top side, which seems a tad harsh on the Saints, given they retained their Premier League status throughout Le Tissier’s time at the club.

Nevertheless, ‘Le God’, as he’s known on the South Coast, appeared 53 times fewer for his country than James Milner.

Just let that sink in for a minute.

    I would be happy to “struggle with” Rachel Riley.

    PS: MLT is an all-time legend of the English game. It is criminal that he didn’t have a fair go at the national side. GH should be ashamed.
