Guernsey has only ever produced one England international. Twenty-five years on from Matt Le Tissier’s last senior cap, the Channel Island has a new hero - with the same surname.
Manchester United defender Maya Le Tissier is no relation to the former Southampton midfielder but could follow in his footsteps if she makes her Lionesses debut this month.
Her performances in the Women’s Super League earned her a place in the senior squad for the first time but her route to the national team has involved jumping through several hurdles.
With no women’s teams in Guernsey, Le Tissier played for a boys club until the age of 16.
