Signed first professional deal at Southampton worth £100 a week

Le Tissier signed his first professional deal at Southampton in 1986, before embarking on a fruitful 16 years with the Saints.

His first contract saw him take home just £100 a week, a far cry from the figures footballers receive nowadays, even those who have only just signed professionally.
