Football FanCast is introducing its new ‘hall of fame' which is a celebration of all the great players that have graced pitches in the British Isles in the last 30yrs.

The best thing about football is that is brings people together. For ten months you are locked together in one big family; all sharing the same dreams and hopes that your football club is going to succeed and whether your Southampton or Sutton Utd; those same emotions are replicated throughout.

You get the highs, the agonising lows and their performances in general tend to mirror your mood. Your club tends to become the major part of your life and unlike a wife or husband can never be changed and no matter how bad your season has gone, you cannot wait for the first game so to jump aboard that rollercoaster once again.

Every person has their own reason for supporting football club, whether it's hereditary, geographical or merely liking the shirt or name. I have a friend who is named, Glenn Ossie Ricky Thompson; apparently his mum took exception to having the name Garth as well so his father had to make do with only three of his heroes.

It is the personalities that make football for me and no matter which team you support you all have your own heroes and players that mean so much to your football club. Whether it was an important goal, sustained success or someone giving 100% every game; we all have affection's for certain players and will always be in our hearts as long as we live.

We at Football FanCast are inducting our own hall of fame as a celebration of all the great players of the last 30yrs; who have graced the British Isles. We have provided you below with a list of future inductees, who will be subsequently selected in the coming weeks.

The thirteenth inductee into the hall of fame at Football FanCast Towers is Southampton's very own Matthew Le Tissier. Making a total of 540 games for the Saints he is simply the biggest name to ever play for the south coast club. Le Tissier took 49 penalties during his career and scored an incredible 48 of them.

To add to his legendary status at Southampton he scored the last ever goal at The Dell, scoring the winner against Arsenal. After retiring Le Tissier revealed he tore up a contract he had agreed with Tottenham, and also rejected moves to AC Milan and Chelsea. But despite possessing plenty of ability Le Tissier was only ever capped 8 times by England, frequently being overlooked by Terry Venables and Glenn Hoddle.

Please find the time to make your choice of your clubs next inductee and feel free to share with us any great memories, whether it goals or games of the chosen one.

The guy was sheer class and although Saints fans wont have it, I feel it is such a shame that he never played for a bigger club.

I dont think I have seen a selection of goals like it, absolute top quality and players like him are badly missed in the modern game.
