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.
