  1. Ah yes, Matt Le Tissier, too - well done.

    What a fine player he was... I'd love to have seen him play for England more often as he certainly had the skill to beat some teams almost single-handedly.

    A great scorer of goals in the mould of Glenn Hoddle.

  5. Quite right, Paddy. These lists are rarely meant to be all-inclusive, so feel free to add to them whenever you like!
