The career of Matthew Le Tissier is undoubtedly one of the highlights in the club's history. He was mainly responsible for the side's survival in the first division and then the Premiership in the early 1990s. Le Tissier's loyalty to the club coupled with his mercurial skills and phenomenal goal scoring have made him into one of the club's legends.
To celebrate his playing career with the Saints and to show just how much he means to all Southampton fans, Javier Igeño Cano from the Spanish Saints is putting together a tribute CD-ROM.
Javier has been working flat out over the last several months to pack as much into the CD-ROM as possible. As you can see from the preview shots, it looks fantastic.
The CD includes a comprehensive biography of Matt Le Tissier, combining texts, sounds and videos in a nice and easy interface.
Combining elements of text with video is very much a part of the CD. You can
read about Matty's ten best assists, but also see those assists in video. This applies to tributes from both fans and managers as well.
Javier has conducted extensive research into this project so you will have in depth stats and information on Matt's career.
The coverage extends from a special Guernsey section containing videos and photos of Matt's home island, through his Saints career to another special section on his testimonial.
There will be a video montage of Matt's England debut and many, many photos charting Matt's career.
What makes the CD-ROM really special though, is that it contains tributes form all the fans who Matt meant so much to.
We all have a magic Matty moment and this CD gives fans an opportunity to express the pleasure of seeing him play down the years. There will be photos of Matt with his fans and
Of course it's not all football. Matt's down to earth approach and great sense of humour is also why he is so popular with the fans. The CD gives you the chance to find out much more about Matt as a person. Everything form tales of Matt's life in Southampton to his opening of the pub that now bears his name will be included.
You will see and hear team mates views on Matt, stories from Matt and his family about his arrival as a youngster to Southampton. You will also get a look at the house where he stayed at the start of his career and will meet his tutors and also his school teacher.
Such is Javier's commitment to his project and his willingness to share all of it with Saints fans, that it will be available for free. Visit www.spanishsaints.com for more information and previews.
Javier is still accepting tributes from fans for inclusion in the final CD. This is something that you really don't want to miss.
The amount of effort that has gone into this project is astounding, and to be able to be a part of it, in any way, is something to be proud of.
