SAINTS legend Matt Le Tissier pulled on a Portsmouth shirt as he played the pantomime villain in a charity football match at Fratton Park.

Le Tissier featured for Alan Knight's Charity XI against a team of Pompey legends, helping to raise money for the vital work done by cancer charities.

Knight, 63, who played 195 times for Portsmouth, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October 2024, receiving the football world's full support.

Le Tissier was a surprise unannounced attendee on the day, cheekily revealing his arrival on social media with the caption: "Behind enemy lines."

Alan Knight's XI drew 8-8 with the Portsmouth Legends team, as Le Tissier came off the bench to entertain a crowd over 6,000 strong in PO.

Le Tissier was greeted with inevitable chants from the fans of his former bitter rivals, but earned their appreciation with a good natured smile.

The Saints hero played 518 games in red and white but put the past aside to help raise money for charity, donning a Portsmouth away shirt.

It is not a sight many Saints fans will want to see again but is a touch of class from the 56 year old, who scored an incredible 195 goals for the Dell outfit.

Le Tissier will be back on the red side when Saints meet Pompey in South Coast derby league matches, for the first time since 2012, next season.

With both clubs set for participation in the Championship, Saints will take on Portsmouth home and away in their quest for promotion to the top flight.
