Description

Graeme Pierre Le Saux (born 17 October 1968) is an English football pundit and retired footballer. He played from 1989 to 2005 starting as a left winger during his first spell at Chelsea, later transitioning to the role of a left back at Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers and Southampton, and for the England national football team.

After beginning playing in Jersey, he moved to England and signed for Chelsea, debuting in 1989. He left Chelsea in 1993 to join the Blackburn side being built by wealthy benefactor Jack Walker and was a regular fixture in the defence of their 1994–95 Premier League winning side. In 1997, he became the most expensive defender in English footballing history when he returned to Chelsea for £5 million, staying there for six seasons before finishing his career with a move to Southampton in 2003. He announced his retirement from football upon Southampton's relegation from the Premier League in 2005.

In his club playing career, he scored 20 goals from 403 club appearances. He was twice named in the Professional Footballers' Association Team of the Year, in 1995 with Blackburn and in 1998 with Chelsea. As an England international, he made 36 senior appearances from 1994 until 2000, including starting all four England games at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, and scoring one international goal, against Brazil.
