After all, you can’t just score 209 goals for the Saints and not expect a few of them to be outrageous, and Le Tissier’s strike against Blackburn Rovers in 1994 might just be one of ‘Le God’s’ best ever.
Will Adams score a goal this season?
Yes, he just needs a confidence boost
No, he has not proven himself

Well, it got premiership goal of the season didn’t it? But I’d still say it wasn’t Matt’s very best.
