Matt Le Tissier teams up with Barca and Real Madrid legend who scores superb hat-trick
Matt Le Tissier shared the pitch with a "genius" of the game as they joined forces for a charity match in Hong Kong, which saw Michael Owen's All Stars face Paul Scholes' legends
Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier teamed up with icon Luis Figo - who scored a hat-trick in a Hong Kong charity match.
A whole host of famous footy faces travelled to the Far East to help raise money in the World Football Masters Cup game. It saw Michael Owen’s All-Stars going up against Paul Scholes' Legends, giving it a Liverpool vs Manchester United feel.
Joining Owen was fellow former Reds stars Steve McManaman, Jason McAteer and Emile Heskey. Scholes, meanwhile, missed out through illness so was replaced as captain by Ryan Giggs, who had ex-United team-mate Wes Brown and Robert Pires on his side.

Also on Giggs' team were Le Tiss and Figo, who bagged a treble in a 5-2 victory. Pires and Lee Hendrie also got on the scoresheet for them, while Luis Garcia and Robbie Fowler netted for the opposition.
Fowler converted a second-half penalty but also missed a spot kick. Le Tiss wasn't able to use his lethal touch from the spot, which saw him finish 47 times from 48 attempts for the Saints in his career.

He did, however, successfully secure a selfie with the former Barcelona and Real Madrid winger. He posted it with the caption: "Amazing experience playing alongside this genius today in Hong Kong, he’s still got it, he scored a hat trick in our 5-2 win #figo."
One fan replied: "My two favourite players from childhood." Another commented: "He still looks the same as he did 10-15 years ago. Wow." And a third joked: "I'll wager he did most of the running in midfield too, right?"
Pires said post-match: "It's nice to play against the good players. Some of them were great rivals, especially when we played against Liverpool or United. It was a good time, good memories."
