Matt Le God was probably the only footballer in the last three decades who genuinely played for the love of the game. He had the advantage of not needing the money, but the fact remains that he was the best player of his generation. When Blackburn bought the prem title with jack walkers millions, shearer signed for a national record fee, flowers signed as well, plus kenna. Le Tissier turned them down, despite an offer of wages and a signing on fee far higher than shearers, plus an offer of a daily helicopter ride to Ewood Park from Southampton to save him having to relocate. Dalglish was that desperate to get him. I've met Le Tiss a few times, and he's an absolutely top bloke.
