Dear Sir,

What a great idea to appoint Matthew Le Tissier as an Ambassador of Southampton Football Club.

He has, of course, unofficially promoted and supported the Saints ever since his retirement as a player.

Matt Le Tissier with Saints fans in Dubai

In the last few months on two separate visits he has joined Saints fans - the Dubai Saints - watching SFC matches in “the Benali Stand” - an area set aside for Saints fans who meet in the Barasti Beach Bar, Dubai to watch Saints matches.

The fans loved having their hero, the greatest player ever to have played for the Saints, with them and were enormously impressed that Matt was prepared to give up part of his holiday to be with them.
