Replay 4: Matt Le Tissier - “My free kick competition with Becks and Hoddle‪”‬ Football's Greatest

Matt Le Tissier may not have been a great goalscorer like Alan Shearer or Harry Kane but he was a scorer of great goals. In our latest REPLAY with Jeff Stelling, Le Tiss talks through some of those that have gone down in Premier League folklore and why he was able to often produce brilliant moments.


Which was the best goal from his canon?

Which goals were a turning point in his football career?

What’s his favourite of his strikes?


He also chats about chipping Peter Schmeichel, why he was never afraid to look stupid when playing football and how he compared to another dead ball specialist: David Beckham. That leads to him recalling the day he took part in a free-kick competition in England training with Becks and then manager Glenn Hoddle. But who came out on top?

Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket Production with BBC Studios.
