Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has quit his ambassadorial role at the club in the wake of his controversial tweets on the war in Ukraine.
The 53-year-old announced his decision in a series of tweets on Wednesday morning, just 24 hours after he received a fierce backlash from fans over a controversial social media post regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
He tweeted: "To all the fans of sfc. I have decided to step aside from my role as an ambassador of SFC. My views are my own and always have been, and it’s important to take this step today to avoid any confusion. This does not affect my relationship with and love for my club, and I will always remain a fan and supporter of everything Saints.
