Matt Le Tissier International Airport!

Who is Matt le Tissier, never heard of him? Where is it located, I have no idea?

Also for the list, Jomo Kenyatta. Several Cuban airports are named after some less than notable folk, unless you are a Cuban revolutionary!!!

Planemike……………

He thought he was a good footballer. Well, he was….if you compare to Sunday morning Pub leagues.

I think you’re all being far too charitable!Matt Le Tissier is a bloody silly name for a bloke let alone an airport.

B

People are infatuated with bloody sports stars..why not name it after some famous cardiac or neurosurgeon

If M-L-T is going to have an airport named after him, should it not be Guernsey?

Just checked the link…………I cannot believe what a nonsense this is.

As one who spotted there in his youth and worked in the Hampshire Aero Club hangar it always has been and always will be to me EASTLEIGH. Of course if we have to have a person’s name in the title, then it has to be R J Mitchell, there is no contest, although it has to be admitted he was a “Potteries” man by birth.

Yes – how about R J Mitchell ?

I think that the papers definition of ‘celebrity’ is pushing it a bit if you want to compare Le Tissier to JFK. Perhaps name an aircraft after him, but not a sodding great building.

“If the petition is successful, Le Tissier would join an exclusive list of celebrities to have airports named after them.

They include John Lennon (Liverpool), George Best (Belfast City), Charles De Gaulle (Paris), John F Kennedy (New York) and even medieval folklore hero Robin Hood (Doncaster).”

Matt 😮

PS Aren’t they dead anyway

PPS Isn’t there anyone better fitting IF they were going to re-name the airport

At the risk of being flamed here, this is comlete thrash I doubt many people on here would disagree.

Those fans are dreaming…it’s a namby pamby name anyhow
