Summary

Matt Le Tissier is a former England international and Premier League football legend, best known for his loyalty to Southampton, his incredible goals, and his reputation as one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation. Since retiring, he has become one of the few high-profile sports figures willing to speak out on politics, media manipulation, and the erosion of personal freedom.

In this interview, Matt discusses his career, why he turned down big-money moves to stay loyal to his club, and how his life changed after questioning the government’s Covid response. We discuss his experience of being cancelled by Sky Sports, the chilling effect on public figures who question official narratives, and why the media no longer serves the public.
