Strange how Southampton didn't do better with the players they had in that era. I always thought that Liverpool should have strengthened their squad at the end of 1990. The team, while still very good, was running out of steam and it needed new blood with the likes of Le Tissier and Shearer. But Liverpool embarked on one of the strangest transfer policies ever after winning the title - buying rubbish, while it was Man Utd who began buying well...of course the rest is history.

How on earth did they find room for Shearer, Rideout, Le Tiss and Wallace in the same team? That's an attack to scare anyone.

Well done from a Coventry fan

COME ON

le Tissier, Shearer, Wallace, Case, Rideout.. great team

Anyone else notice that as the penalty was being taken, jimmy case ran up behind davis and booted him...

I went to so many games at the Dell that season thanks to my GF who was at Southampton University. Witnessed some cracking games. Great team, epic stadium.

Cockerell earned his Spurs that day in the old first division.

those were the days

"The Southampton keeper" was Tim Flowers. It's as if the commentator didn't know his name. Chris Nichol was Saints manager. Liverpool were in 2nd place; Southampton in 3rd, at the start of the game, according to 11v11 website.

I'd like to know what Leighton thought he was doing for the second Southampton goal as well? 🤔

Used to have this on VHS one of the best end of season montages ever! The soundtrack just “works” 👏

Le Tissier, Wallace, Rideout, Shearer, Benali, Dodd, those were the days.

OMG Le Tiss so good to look back and remember how brilliant he was ❤

Don't you just love it ,simply the best time ever

A mere 21-year-old Le Tiss, already a fully-formed genius, scoring a breathtaking hat-trick on the way to 20 league goals that season in a good Southampton team who were only outscored by Liverpool, and yet who went to the World Cup in the summer? A crocked Neil Webb, a half-dead Bryan Robson, and Steve Bull, a striker with no top flight experience who had played one full season outside the bottom two divisions. While Matt waits 4 more years and 2 managers for even a call-up. Absolutely speechless.

It another goal, Rrrrrrodney Wallace, class💪💪💪

Jimmy Case loved it down there with all those talented youngsters out wide and in front of him - prolonged his career

one of the best season f1 was fantastic back then

Been trying to find this for years! Song really goes well with the season!

David with the left hook why Davis did this could of been a boxer

We were on the pitch after the game 😇

goosebumps pure magic

Had a season ticket in the Archers road when I was a kid, £96 for the whole season! How times have changed. It was amazing watching Le God all those years ago..One of the country's most naturally gifted payers ever in my opinion. Good times at The Dell.

Saints have produced some top players down the years. Terry Paine, Ron Davies, Shearer and Matt Le Tissier to name but 4. Not often Liverpool took a clobbering like that back then.

Rodney and Le God doling it out. Marvellous.

Le Tiss took Le Piss in front of the Chocolate Boxes

What a great saints team

Nice, thank you. COYR!

0:12 I once scored a goal at Cheshunt like this attempt from Rideout except it went in under the bar

The Dell was somewhat of a fortress back in the day. Some lessons learned by the bigger sides when playing Southampton at the Dell.

Le Tissier era medio equipo, que gran jugador!

Le tiss

Le tiss what a Saints legend.

Only one Mrs Wallace.

I love so much The Dell

Lovely memories! Had forgotten that Alan Shearer played at Soton with Matt Le Tissier.

Cheers for this.. Will never forget and watched lots as it was on a 'Highlights vid', they stopped 'em though. "Fine performance by the Saints"

That Liverpool away kit was simply hideous. I remember several lads at school had it and it looked even worse in real life.

I like this stadium. A real football stadium.

Le Tissier is absolute class

My fella went to that game it pissed down all day 5,000 Hammers went he said opening game 4-0🤬🤬🤬🤬☹️⚒

I remember this match... the 81st min winner for the saints!

Not just a question of what if with Southampton and the numerous top class players they have lost over the last few years but back in the early 90s. Shearer, Wallace, Flowers, Le Tissier and Rideout to name but a few.

No comments

Good goals except the Norwich one which was absurdly bad goalkeeping

Southampton, the better team on the day by a mile. Some wonderful fluid football and beautiful goals. This was not the typical manner in which other teams pulled off shock results against Liverpool back then with scrappy goals from set pieces (eg Crystal Palace in the semi final that same season)

What was the score at the time of the Paul Davis punch incident?

went to this it was the end for ron. i enjoyed his utd days an him. just ran out of ideas in the end

Southampton had some good players then, Rideout, Shearer, Wallace, LeTissier, Flowers in goal. They turned over some good sides at The Dell.
