Always reminds me of a gamboling spring lamb does Marian.

I wish I could remember the quote, but Strachan once said something similar when Marian had been sent off once. Picked up a yellow for chewing the wrong gum or something, then sent off for 'simulation'. Strachan questioned how a player who simply came on and ran around a lot could possible merit a red card.

My favourite memory is the 3-3 draw at Old Trafford. The nutmeg for the first goal, but also the way he muscled the United defender (Silvestre?) off the ball to set up Matt's equaliser.
 
Cracking finish from Matty on the 3rd. How the hell did he get that angle on it :emoticon-0152-heart

Let me see...

1] He's Matthew Le Tissier
2] He's the most skilful player on the pitch by a mile
3] He's a genius.

Hmm, can't pick from any of those. The most realistic option is number 2, I guess.
 
Think of all those players who miss those one touch finishes from that distance. It looked easy because he made it look easy. Not because it was.

I don't believe I said it was easy? Just that the angle wasn't particularly mental as it was essentially him controlling the speed of the ball from Pahars into the net.
