Matt Le Tissier was back on his old stamping ground at the Corbet Field to join Tony Vance’s island squad for a training session ahead of Saturday’s huge FA Carlsberg National League System Cup semi-final and to finish he gave the players a masterclass in penalty taking.

‘I enjoyed the session and hopefully I have put some good thoughts in the lads’ heads, especially if it comes to penalties. You need to be prepared for them,’ said ‘Le God’.

‘Mark [Le Tissier, GFA chairman and Matt’s older brother] keeps me informed about how Guernsey are getting on and I will be on the phone on Saturday hoping the lads can do the job.

‘There is no reason why they cannot win their semi-final and go on to win the whole thing. Positive mental attitude can take you a long way.’
