Soccer 101

On this episode of Soccer 101, Ryan Bailey explores the legend of Matt Le Tissier—and his distinct lack of international call-ups. Premier League fans of a 90s vintage will have fond memories of Le Tissier, who spent his entire career at Southampton, and scored some of the most breathtaking goals of the era. Talent oozed from his pores, and he is still considered one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever players. But he managed just a handful of appearances for England. Why is that?
