Matt Le Tissier has experienced how fickle and nasty the British media can be. Overnight he went from being a football legend to a dangerous conspiracy theorist and anti vaxxer!
'Le God' returns to Hearts of Oak to talk about the ongoing attempts by the media to attack and discredit him.
We discuss how even outlets we trusted as believers in free speech have apparently become government mouthpieces on the COVID new-speak and how can Britain only have one single MP who will challenge and question the COVID tyranny and jab nonsense.
We also touch on Matt's team, Southampton.
After 20 years in the top flight they have recently been relegated and we chat about what Matt thinks went wrong this season.
So join us this episode for more straight talking and common sense from an absolute gentleman.
Matt Le Tissier is a bona fide football legend, often described as one of the most naturally talented players of his time, the man that south coast residents call ‘Le God’ and one of the most famous soccer stars of the 1990's.
Matt joined Southampton FC on the YTS scheme in 1985, signed professional forms with them the following year at 16 years of age and for the next 16 years he put loyalty above riches and remained at the club.
A hero to his fans for his creativity, he was the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the Premier League and Matt's penalty taking abilities were renowned, converting 47 out of 48 from the spot.
Then for 15 years he was on our TV screens every week on Sky Sports giving his commentary on the Premier League football matches.
This all came to a screeching halt when he tweeted his thoughts on the Ukraine/Russia conflict, refused to wear a badge on-air of an organisation he had no interest in being associated with and also retweeting a post that questioned the government line on COVID.
These actions were apparently outside the accepted new-speak and for these crimes he was sacked.
