Matt Le Tissier

Matthew "Matt" Le Tissier (/ləˈtɪsi./) (born 14 October 1968) is a Guernsey-born English former professional footballer and football television presenter. He works as a football pundit for Sky Sports and is the honorary president of Guernsey F.C..

Le Tissier spent his entire professional club career with Southampton and won eight caps for the England national football team before turning to non-League football in 2002; his loyalty garnered special affection from Southampton's fans who nicknamed him "Le God".

A forward with exceptional technical skills, Le Tissier is the second-highest ever scorer for Southampton behind Mick Channon and was voted PFA Young Player of the Year in 1990. He was the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the Premier League. He is notable for his record at scoring penalty kicks – converting from the spot 47 times from 48 attempts – and is considered one of the greatest ever from the 12-yard spot.

Following his retirement as a player, Le Tissier became a football pundit, and currently works as a panelist on the Sky Sports show Soccer Saturday. In 2011 he became honorary president of Guernsey F.C., for whom he briefly registered as a player in May 2013 to help with the club's fixture congestion.

Sharks

by: Mad Heads

Waves of green everywhere
No ship for long long time
And Jolly Roger upstairs
Is tired of this dull sight
Once my hands were so sexy
But they satisfy me no more
Captain, we need a woman!
And if you have none in store
Give me a shark, give me a shark
Why don't you give me a shark
Give me a shark, give me a shark
You gotta give me a shark
Maybe they are far from perfection
And maybe you don't like their teeth
But sharks are the only girlfriends
Of lonely buccaneers
Sharks never nag you drink and swear
And they are always around
Sure you have heard of mermaids
They are fruits of pirate's love
Sail across the ocean
And bring me to the land
But sharks with all devotion
