He joins the show to discuss the relegation of his beloved Saints, the future of Harry Kane whilst giving the inside scoop on the controversy that surrounded his exit from Soccer Saturday.

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

@Yorkman7 3 ай бұрын

A man of principle would not have made some of the statements he did. No one challenges him on them . For example he posited Christen Eriksen collapsed on the pitch because he had the vaccine. Eriksen was unvaccinated. Just lies. He tries to come across as reasonable but denies people the treatment he wants them to give him .

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. 👊🏻

I'm ashamed to admit I've been one of those who had previously put Matt Le Tissier in the "delusional" category, purely for having different views to the main stream around high-profile and sensitive topics. A brilliant talk, in which as per Simon's intro, I've learned something from. If you had told me a year ago, watching a 58 minute video of Simon Jordan and Matt Le Tissier would change my thinking on certain things in life, i'd have laughed myself in to afit. More than happy now to admit where i'm wrong. Brilliant show.

One of the few brave enough to voice an honest opinion and is a voice of common sense. The slander against him is sickening for asking questions which not many others are asking, and he's been proven correct on many things.

Decent player with a few great goals is his career in a nutshell

I have the utmost respect for Matt as I can relate to him and his views on the subjects that are not about football which I think most people will know exactly what I'm talking about. To me, he comes across as a sensible, warm, kind and caring soul and it's nice to know he's on the side of TRUTH and right and wrong. God bless you Matt. You will always be remembered for being on the right side of history. Wishing you and your family all the very best in the future. I salute you Sir ❤

Its clear and obvious that what he meant was that during lockdown he got into a spiral with the politics and cultural issues and probably should have focused more on everyday life? Many of us had a similar experience, lockdown was a weird time for everyone. Its also clear that the word ' neglect ' can be twisted by people like yourself? I dont share all of his views but agree with many of them and his general, grown up attitude to how humans should interact and behave with each other is admirable and all too rare.

Matt was the ultimate entertainer and provided some of the most astonishing moments I've ever seen in football. Remember the home game against Newcastle in '93, when he scored 'those two goals' ! just as great was the time where he immaculately controlled a long high punt that went sailing over his head near the corner flag - everyone on that side of the ground just gasped in stunned awe. Matt also calls it how it is, and talks a lot of sense - he'd be a perfect fit on the excellent White and Jordan show on Talksport!

One of the Greatest English players of all time. Even tho I was a City fan I loved watching Cantona play, and of course Gazza, but my favourite player to watch, and my favourite non-City player, was Le Tissier. He was playing a different sport, a better sport in my eyes back then. The only other time I felt like that was watching Romario and Bebeto during the 94 World Cup and later Ronaldinho
