Ex-football player and Saints legend Matt Le Tissier has claimed he has zero regrets after sharing 9/11, anti-vaccine and Ukraine war conspiracies on social media.

Despite being axed as a pundit on Sky Sports in 2020 and being slammed by fans on social media, the local sporting icon insists he has no regrets over his controversial comments.

The 55-year-old has since blamed his Sky Sports axing on his refusal to wear a Black Lives Matter badge and his anti-vaccine views on Covid-19.

He is also further damaged his public image by stating on Twitter that Russia's massacre in Bucha had been blown out of proportion – a Tweet that was hastily removed from his page.

Le Tissier has also been criticised for sharing controversial views on 9/11 – stating that terrorist Osama Bin Laden was working with the CIA and US Justice Department.

Signing professionally for Southampton FC in 1986, the midfielder had a 16-year-long career with the club and is hailed as a Southampton sporting hero for club fans.

Throughout his Southampton career, Le Tissier had a reputation for scoring penalties, converting 47 of the 48 penalties that he took for Southampton.

After leaving the club in 2002, he had a two-season-long spell with non-league side Eastleigh.

Appearing on an episode of the podcast Football's Greatest With Jeff Stelling, the ex-Southampton player said: “I don't regret doing what I've done, even though it's cost me stuff. I would do exactly the same thing again because I think it's the right thing to do.

“I think people need to try to understand just how close we are to being run by very tyrannical people who don't have the best interests of humanity at heart.

“And that's the basis for everything that I've done, really.

“The funniest thing about it is I get people calling me out on social media going "you're a shill!" And I'm like, right, so you think I'm doing this for money, when I've probably sacrificed about 50 per cent of what I was earning three or four years ago.

“But, as I said, wouldn't change a thing. I'd do the same thing again if I had to.”
