Yep - his corners were bang on. Funny watching those highlights though and remembering how much we relied on Tiss for some magic.
Apart from the usual amazing things he did I was always hugely impressed by the amount of bend he could put on the ball without any seeming wind up effort. By comparison, Beckham used to twist himself into a knot. Matt's free kick in the video where he bent it around the wall started out heading halfway to the corner flag. He did quite a few free kicks to the near post, with a lot of success. Did one against Villa, as I remembered. That started out heading towards the corner flag too and bent right back in.
In all my years as a Saints fan, Everton away and Spurs away are 2 fixtures I look at and think " I'm going to need a beer tonight! "
As regards associating having a pint after a match, I've always had a tradition of only having a drink if Saints win. Consequently I was invariably stone cold sober during the large parts of the 1990's and almost tea-total throughout 2008. These days one can get quite a sway on, at times.

I was under the West stand for that one. In today's sanitised football the second goal wouldn't have happened as a free kick would have been given for Marsden's raised foot tackle, even though he only played the ball.
Saints are travelling to Liverpool in a geriatric Boeing 737 today, 24 years old and it was once in the KLM fleet, now registered SX-ATF. Due to depart at 16:00 as GNJ074,
