He was a brilliant footballer reduced to shopping his views around on any channel that gives him airtime on the assumption he is right and everyone else is wrong. He is entitled to his views but when he tells lies ( Eriksen as an example) he loses credibility.

@frenchycanada Ай бұрын

I tell this story to LeTissier fans because it`s true and it gives an insight into his down-to-earth personality. Matt sent me a Southampton rosette and an autographed pic of himself within a type of team program magazine thanking me for my support after hearing my positive comments about his play from some Southampton managment brass who had come to Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada and were part of a tour group I took across a glacier. I told them I couldn't understand why he wasn't given a fair shake for the World Cup squad and to pass along that he has a big fan working in the Cdn Rocky Mtns. Couple months later an envelope showed up in my mailbox. I returned the favour by sending him a Montreal Canadiens hockey t-shirt the year they won the Stanley Cup. Cool huh?

We all forget, Pearce also took a penalty in the semi against Germany at euro 96. People only remember the one against Spain because of the celebration, but the one against Germany required more bottle because of the occasion and opposition.

Some things would definitely be easier for him but I wonder if it's because it's all about the systems now if he'd do as well because even players like Grealish seem to have all the invididual flair they once had coached out of them just to fit into a particular way of playing

As a Gooner watching at Highbury from the late 60''s till early 2000's. Yeah Arsenal had their fair share of hard players, Sammy Nelson could change in a second. Most of the defenders Adams, Keown, Winterburn ( 1990 Man Utd, huge brawl ), Sansom, Storey, O'Leary, McLintock, Campbell, Bould and more could mix it if required. Good show, and thanks.
