Pitch clash

somebody who knows about his on-pitch fight with david batty in russia (i think) should write about it, because it was pretty rare in that they were on the same team and had a bust up. Saccerzd 15:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Channel islands

Was he the first England player from the Channel Islands? Is it worth mentioning the homosexuality rumours that followed him around? 84.69.7.243 22:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was the joint-first England player from the Channel Islands. He and Matthew Le Tissier made their England debuts in the same match. Jess Cully (talk) 00:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Homosexuality/Guardian readership

If anyone really knows anything about him, I think it'd be worth mentioning the allegations of homosexuality and his title as "the only footballer who reads the Guardian" - at least, his abnormal intelligence when held up against the majority of modern footballers. Do it. Seegoon 12:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People Vandalising this Page

Who are you, and haven't you got anything better to do than write lies about Graeme Le Saux? You actually wish he was gay don't you, as then you could then try and chat him up so as to indulge in all your own secret fantasies that you daren't tell your mates. Nothing worse than a closet that turns on their own kind rather than admit what they are! How pathetic and inadequate an individual do you have to be to write lies (and lies which, lets face it, if they were true, what decent civilised person would give a monkeys?) about someone you don't even know. Get a life you sad, confused little fools and accept the fact that Le Saux is actually straight, and will never be interested in you, no matter how much you wish for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.119.213 (talk) 14:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're a moron --86.149.45.165 (talk) 14:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the section about him campaigning for gay rights needs a little expansion - as it is, with no mention of the childish slurs that dogged his career, a reader may assume that Le Saux was openly gay. I'm going to tackle that now I think... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.196.223 (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

N.I./Scotland/Wales

Does anyone know if Le Saux ever considered playing for Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales as he could have done? Jess Cully (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surname origin

Is it worth mentioning that in the English FourFourTwo he thinks the origin of his surname stated on his page is crap? TasmaniaUnitedFan (talk) 11:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
