Grey shirts & Southampton 6-3 Manchester United 1996-97

In their previous league game, United had been on the end of a 5-0 thumping by Newcastle. "Just a blip," said Alex Ferguson. A week later, the blip got much worse. And it still wasn't over then. United also lost the game against Fenerbahce in Europe and their next league fixture to Chelsea.
They had previous at the Dell too -- United had lost there 3-1 the season before and it was their grey kit that infamously got all the blame. There's a bit about that at the start of this video. Ian Darke narrates, Steve Banyard commentates.

One of our best results ever in the Premier League!! Imagine Peter Schmeichel conceding six at the Dell! Beautiful days.

As a Southampton fan I can never forget these games. They were both in 1996. Beating Man Utd 6-3 was amazing. We battered them in this game. But the strange thing is that despite this result we didn’t win a game for another 2 months and only just avoided relegation and United went on to be champions. Only a blip for United after all. Just goes to show you never know in football.

Le Tissier, the man of the incredible goals! The 4-2 for Southamption is another incredible goal!

@ramblerandy2397 5 жыл бұрын

Not just incredible goals. He could do amazingly accurate crosses and long range passes. Plus, beat an opponent almost effortlessly. Not too shabby with his head either. Poor tackler, that was all. And no pace when he was older, But he didn't need any.

@h0ckeyd 3 жыл бұрын

The fact that he casually lobbed basically the best keeper in the premiership...maybe even on the planet then just showed that and I actually asked Le Tiss himself if he did it because he saw Newcastle lobbing him the week before and he answered....yup...made my day.

I remember it well...the arrogance of Man Utd in not just swapping a kit in the middle of a game but completely discarding it thereafter. What about all the people that had paid for one, where does that leave them? Terrible sportsmanship and treatment of the fans. Recently they wore a 1958 retro kit vs Man City in honour of the Munich air crash. They lost that game and sulked thinking they had some divine right to win it because it was their show.

As an Israeli I'm glad to hear so, but he's retired 6 years ago at the age of 34. He was a good player, a member of the Israeli football Hall of Fame, he was chosen as the number 10 best middlefielder in the history of the English premier league by The Times newspaper, and even got nicknamed "Ha-Kosem" (the magician in Hebrew) but he's more of a talky talky than a great footballer :) Today he's a commentator in the Israeli sports TV channel and a manages in the youth team of F.C. Nesher.
