VIDEO: All hail Xavi's Premier League hero

It's a well known fact that Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez is a huge admirer of former Man United midfield hero and fellow one-club man Paul Scholes.

But there is another one-club man that the World Cup, European Championship and Champions League winner has put on a pedestal: Matt Le Tissier.

"The man I absolutely loved watching as a kid was Matt Le Tissier after seeing the highlights of his extraordinary goals.

"His talent was out of the norm. He could dribble past seven or eight players but without speed - he just walked past them. For me he was sensational.

"We had a programme on Spanish TV with the best goals from around Europe. He was always the star.

"I was ten or even younger. He was definitely an idol." - Xavi Hernandez

We've all seen Matt Le Tissier's goals, especially for those of us who grew up in the 1990s, who were also used to extra-ordinary feats by recent Team 33 interviewee Tony Yeboah of Leeds.

Le Tiss was the '90s icon our host Richard Chambers highlighted in our '90s football Festive special, so without further ado, enjoy the magic once again:
