LE TISSIER BACKS LAMBERT FOR WORLD CUP

Former Southampton striker Matt Le Tissier has tipped England and Saints star Rickie Lambert for the World Cup in 2014.

Le Tissier,who will go down in history as one of Southampton's all-time greatest players,played for the Premier League side from 1986 until 2002 and made 443 appearances.

Lambert joined Southampton in 2009 from Bristol Rovers,signing for the club during a time which saw them in administration.However,his goals proved vital in what would be back-to-back promotions for the club under Nigel Adkins.

Lambert made his debut for England last month in a friendly against Scotland scoring the winning goal in a 3-2 win.

"What Rickie has done has been phenomenal," Le Tissier told journalists,"Lambert has put himself in Hodgson's thoughts. I don't think we're overly blessed with attacking options in England at the moment."
