I'm not sure anyone really understands why a player of such exceptional talent failed to have a more successful career. There are suggestions of a collapsed transfer to Tottenham and Le Tissier claimed to have turned down a move to AC Milan, one of the world's greatest teams in what at the time was probably the world's best league.
He retired after 16 years at perennial relegation battlers Southampton having won nothing and with just 8 England caps to his name. Whether he never left because he prefered to remain the big fish in the small pond or because of his genuine deep love for the club can be debated, however, his reputation as the scorer of spectacular goals is unquestionable.
