10 Most Ridiculously Underrated Ex Premier League Stars

Underrated, undervalued and brilliant: all words which follow the mention of pointy-toothed, overweight and technically gifted Matt Le Tissier. Another player who spent a career at one club, 'Le God' said he owed Southampton after they dug him from obscurity on the island of Guernsey.

Le Tissier consistently held his own Goal of the Month contests in a career, which spanned twenty years, often resulting in the whole country shaking its head in disbelief. He once told Tim Flowers before a game he would hit the towel hanging in the side-netting of his goal. He proceeded to do so from 40 yards. 

He curiously saved his best goals for Blackburn and Newcastle games, but there really are too many 'worldies' to mention.

Then there are the penalties: unusually for an Englishman he didn't miss. Well, apart from once, but he scored 47 of the 48 he took and still never made it to a major tournament with England.

Ultimately loyalty was his undoing, as he routinely rejected moves away from Southampton to bigger clubs. It's for this reason he's rarely mentioned as true Premier League great, despite his gifts.
