Football: Top 15 footballers who are/were more famous than their clubs (With Pictures)

14. Matt Le Tissier – Southampton

Southampton are a club of decent stature, having won the FA Cup once in their history and having a sizeable fanbase. However, over the years in which Matt Le Tissier played for the club, the languid forward was bigger than the club itself. Essentially a one-club man, Le Tissier spent 14 years playing as an attacking midfielder on the south coast and is the fifth highest scoring midfielder in Premier League history. One of the most technically gifted players in the league’s history, the Englishman had a multitude of opportunities to join so-called ‘bigger’ clubs but remained at Southampton.
