‘Southgate made the most HORRIFIC decision I’ve seen in my life’ ⚽ Matt Le Tissier | Up Front

[LeeGunner]

Probably the only footballer I can think of who’s won no trophies who’ll go down as one of the all time greats of world football. One of the most gifted players I’ve seen in my 41 years of life. Rarely scored a tap in and made the game look effortless. Out of football he’s also absolutely spot on about his world views. 👊🏻

[Mudjimbawoodcraft]

Loved and respected him as a footballer, even more of a man of principle and truth.

[gedglynn]

This interview was far far to short. I could have listened to this man all night. What a legend.

[Upmostwolf]

As a Pompey supporter I think Matt is a great guy, someone to admire

[scottmackintosh]

Absolutely love him. He’s just class on and off the pitch. Simon Jordan is becoming the best and most entertaining football pundit/presenter/radio person. You can tell these 2 really respect each other and I’ve never seen someone so relaxed around Simon and actually not get interrupted by him lol

[billyp]

Matt Le Tissier. Quality footballer. Quality man.

[thiefoftomorrow]

this is one of the most relaxed ive seen simon with a guest. u can tell he really rates matt

[Elnino]

Absolute legend. He’s a man of principle and that’s has to be commended, especially these days.

[ny]

Met Matt in Mauritius and ended up playing some golf and witnessing his wedding. One of the most genuine and nicest guys you can possibly meet.

[whitters]

He is a legend. He speaks the truth and I'm glad to have him on my side.

[christopherreynolds]

Le Tissier was an incredible player, and is a man of true integrity

[billcathcart]

Matt's a great human being, full of wisdom, integrity and humility...

[muffhelmable]

Love Matt - history will look kindly not just at his behaviour on the pitch but much more importantly how he has behaved off the pitch - Thanks Matt

[Trueblue]

Not many ex footballers that I’d sit through an hour long interview for but Le Tissier is different gravy. He is intelligent and articulate and has the experience to know his subject matter.

[davidrobinson]

This is probably the best sports interview show ever. I don't always agree with Simon Jordan, I'm a Newcastle fan after all but he's very forthright, intelligent man who asks the questions we all want answered.
Matt is the embodiment of all that's good in football. He played for the enjoyment of the game. No amount of trophies can replace the joy he gave and the worship he received. To be honest, I would take take that everytime too.

[dannyferguson]

1 of the most gifted players ever to grace English football and a guy that talks sensibly and very wisely

[marctailor]

One of the high-lights of the past year for me was meeting Matt, at a Christmas Bash in London 2022, where he was a guest speaker at a prominent internet personality's function. I told him that he had 'balls of steel." and thanked him for standing up for all of us that do not have a platform and who are ignored by the establishment, once again, "you are a legend Matt." As an Evertonian it was great to hear your stories about speaking to the referee at Goodison Park and your relationship with Alan Ball. Great night and thank you again Sir.

[nabillarif]

Good on you Matt, a man with principles who doesn't bow down to narratives and political correctness...salute my friend

[jimmccork]

A man of integrity. The fact he was a great footballer is a secondary consideration.

[colingeddes]

Le God was my football hero. Standing on the terraces at the dell witnessing his incredible goals, and not to mention his loyalty to our club. Off the pitch, he talks alot of sense on all things in general. Us saints fans will always laud matt.❤
