Conversative leadership hopeful Rishi Sunak has scored an own goal while discussing his support of Southampton.
Sunak was born in the south coast city and has previously described himself as a “massive football fan” and claimed Matt Le Tissier was his favourite player.
His father Yashvir had a season ticket to watch the Saints and Sunak said that, for his 18th birthday, he was given a card signed by the whole squad, which then became “one of his most prized possessions”.
