So you watched a load of youth games back when Matt was coming through. Ok. His name is Darren Stanley.
You said he played with Soton senior team....where Matt trained. So, no, I didn't watch Soton youth games, I watched their games in EPL when Matt was playing.
Is Darren still playing?

Something else entirely, but while I was looking up lists of the Premier League's all time greats, very regularly (well, nearly all the time) the name of Matthew Le Tissier popped up. I never saw him play (not even on TV), but after seeing some YouTube-vids, i sure wish i did. What a player, what a phenomenal talent! I cannot believe he was only selected eight times for the English national team! Anybody ever seen this guy play live?
Le Tissier was great, but perhaps what held him back was staying loyal to Southampton FC rather than moving to a bigger club. Also, England coaches past and present have tended to not pick players with flair. Joe Cole is a more recent example of this - a guy who has shone at Lille this season.
I've only seen him play live on television and he was always a joy to watch. It's very rare that England produces such talent. If anything, more of the flaired players of the last couple of decades have been Welsh (Giggs, Bale, Ramsey).

Well I apologize Pete when I said he played with the senior team. He trained with them but he never played a competitve game for them. He doesn't play football anymore. He let women get in the way when he was younger. He could of been great but had the wrong attitude. He then moved to London and got a job and lives a normal life like the rest of us.

Ah, women.....one can only imagine how great he would've become
