Matt Le Tissier has put himself back in the spotlight as a result of his outspoken views, this time taking aim at Gary Lineker.
The Southampton legend has labelled the former England star "woke" for his political stances and questioned his "nice bloke" image. Le Tissier has previously been at odds with Lineker, who made headlines last year for shutting him down in a debate over Covid-19, a topic which both ex-footballers have regularly weighed in on.
A staunch believer in "not following the crowd," Le Tissier has continued his battle against mainstream thinking and given his thoughts on Lineker while speaking to the Times. "I find it funny that he goes out of his way to criticise me for having an opinion that's different to his," the 53-year-old declared.
