"After COVID, my family were worried about my mental health" ⚽ Matt Le Tissier | Up Front

[@LeeGunner]

Probably the only footballer I can think of who’s won no trophies who’ll go down as one of the all time greats of world football. One of the most gifted players I’ve seen in my 41 years of life. Rarely scored a tap in and made the game look effortless. Out of football he’s also absolutely spot on about his world views. 👊🏻

[@murdoch691]

[@AndyAustin-g5s]

Totally agree. I wish he had come to Liverpool in the 90s. I am 67, when I was a season ticket holder on the Kop I looked for three opponents and when we played them Everton, Manchester United and Southampton. I was not going to miss the chance to see him play. @@HikeWizard

same here mate, back in the 90s the amount of goals you see on match of the day or highlights or cup matches in the week where le tissier would score a belter and everyone couldnt explain why not many england caps then against us in dublin he gets a cap and there was crowd trouble, game got called off, it was just not meant to be for him. scored over 100 goals too

A man of principle would not have made some of the statements he did. No one challenges him on them . For example he posited Christen Eriksen collapsed on the pitch because he had the vaccine. Eriksen was unvaccinated. Just lies. He tries to come across as reasonable but denies people the treatment he wants them to give him .

@Breath of Fresh Air Well he was unorthadox and 'clunky' wasn't he? Much to his opponents regret. Are you really going to pick me up on a word when I'm merely complimenting a man who I thought was a beautiful footballer when I was younger? Really mate?

[@nahmate7331]

A man of principle and integrity not to mention an incredible footballer, puts these MOTD muppets to shame.

[@sharkymoon422]

‘Rare breed in football’ Nearly Perfect Simon, ‘Rare human being’ is Perfect 👍.. Thanks Matt .. ❤️ You will never walk alone ❤

[@neilmarkell1414]

Well, that was bloody brilliant. Two men who stand by their views and speak with total integrity. A hugely enjoyable watch. However....is there going to be a Part II ?

[@andybenskin6065]

I remember his performance in that England B game before the World Cup and thinking 'he's definitely in the squad now'. More fool me. One of the most gifted and entertaining players ever.

[@martinladley]

'98. That was another mad pre World Cup for England. The press at their usual fever pitch, with Hoddle and his staff really adding to the madness. I remember, more, the way Gazza was handled. Hoddle had already thrown Matt under the bus after the Italy qualifier at Wembley and further isolated himself from the average England fan when he gave Gazza enough rope, in the May warm ups Chris Evans and C4 were complicit in the downfall of Gazza, by engineering and encouraging that fateful appearance on Friday night T.V. Yeh, fans never forget. It's enough to make............🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@mikehunt8823]

Didn’t he score a hat trick or something? And didn’t get picked

[@utv5490]

​@@mikehunt8823He did and should have been picked.

Matt what a class act..great interview.. need more honest voices like his in the media..

[@microfarming8583]

They're all paid up puppets for big pharma

[@Leer1969]

One of the best premier league players ever and very very talented,great interview and i love Matts honesty to life in general and his principles 👍👏👏👏🤗

[@trevorpalin4731]

brilliant interview. was fortunate to meet matt briefly at cheltenham a few years ago. top bloke! A man of morals, principles and integrity. when these thing’s that are being imposed upon us become so obvious that no one can deny there is something sinister behind them. we will need someone we respect. please please do the retrospective review. it will be very interesting

[@covell12]

Brillant interview, and Matt comes across as a nice relaxed guy who stands by his views that is obvious. Great footballer and his skill set was outstanding and dazzling, some of his goals truly sublime, all in all a really likeable man.

[@kieranokeeffe1363]

Matt is an absolute legend of a man, Le God Matt Le Tissier What an absolutely awesome player and brilliant man, he’s nobody’s fool

[@sandfly]

A great footballer and an example of how to live a fulfilling life by always being his own man.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

I'm a saints fan and the same age, I was lucky enough to se some of Matt's iconic goals in person at the Dell back in the 90s and met him a couple of times

[@welshhibby]

This podcast is going from strength to strength....it really is top quality.

[@roblaidlaw6508]

An amazing player. A man of integrity in life too. Stood up for what he believed in regardless of the consequences. Respect 🙏 on both fronts.

[@artfuldodger4286]

Gutted that it ended. 😢 Really enjoyed that! Thanks lads!

[@jamesa3184]

Always loved watching the player, but the man is just as impressive….if not more so. Le Tissier was always one of those players that kids wanted to emulate. So utterly gifted that it defies belief. Nobody in this country is in his league for skill presently.

[@LUFC123]

Le God. What an unbelievable footballer he was

[@topgazza]

Wonderful stuff. Simon is always worth a listen as is Matt. Great show and Matt is a person who is entertaining, honest and refreshing. Love listening to him I was lucky to have seen Matt play live and he was a world class footballer. Up there with the likes of Messi and Co

[@johnward514]

Le Tiss is a legend, for so many reasons. More than that he’s a great human being with principles he’s prepared to stand up and fight for. Unfortunately, rare qualities these days.

[@ninjasrose1653]

WIthout doubt the most underrated british footballer of all time. And to top it off, a great man who says it how it is!

[@dangosypethau]

His lack of England appearances will not diminish his status. For me, arguably within the top 10 of all time English players. Great football brain, timing and ability to score. He also has the ability to make rings around Simon Jordan, on or off the pitch!

[@jonjohnson1978.]

He postive attributes weren't of a level where his negative ones could be ignored for England given the pool of players to choose from

[@richardlittlejohn8184]

I agree with the 1st part, but he's not in the top 10 England players of all time 😂

[@richardlittlejohn8184]

I'd put all these before him Alan Shearer Wayne Rooney Bobby Charlton Jimmy Greaves Paul Scholes Steven Gerrard Tony Adams Bobby Moore Ashley Cole Paul Gascoigne Michael Owen John Barnes David Beckham Gordon Banks

[@ciarandavis1651]

@@richardlittlejohn8184 Yes absolutely laughable opinion for him in top 10. Not even top 100

[@Compassiron1]

And what a pleasure to watch. I remember getting cable in my family home in south London and watching MNF back in the early 90s. Matt was someone you really looked forward to watching. Which for me is what the games all about

[@stokes8626]

Southgate's virtue signalling is next level

[@rowjoh3933]

Matt was the ultimate entertainer and provided some of the most astonishing moments I've ever seen in football. Remember the home game against Newcastle in '93, when he scored 'those two goals' ! just as great was the time where he immaculately controlled a long high punt that went sailing over his head near the corner flag - everyone on that side of the ground just gasped in stunned awe. Matt also calls it how it is, and talks a lot of sense - he'd be a perfect fit on the excellent White and Jordan show on Talksport!

[@gillie-monger3394]

Wouldn't happen with 'talkshite' - they're Sky/Comcast owned.

[@nicolanicholson4339]

Tiss's goals show reel easily as good as Messi or Ronaldo's.... underrated as hell. Speaks sense on most things too... great guy.

[@tillynsummer]

Still think his goal against my team newcastle was the best I've ever witnessed. Loved his style of play.

[@adamwedgwood4432]

Great podcast. Matt Le Tisser was a Brilliant footballer and he always speaks alot of sense. He's definitely a big miss on Sky Sports Saturday along with Tomo & Charlie Nicholas.👌

[@aaronblundell1724]

These two should get their own show

[@utv5490]

And call it The Muppets

[@user-sl5bh8kr8h]

LEGEND ON AND OFF THE PITCH. THANK YOU MATT FOR SPEAKING UP

[@danspaniel355]

Fantastic chat this was,both very relaxed with each other.Respect Matts views on everything and sticks to his word.Simon is doing a great job

[@TheWorldofMomus]

I think Simon Jordan might be the best sports interviewer out there. He draws honesty and best out of everyone. Brilliant podcast.

[@michaelwallden7261]

how many other interviewer do U know

[@tonyslim00]

Fantastic interview, Well done Matt for your great playing career and also standing up for your principles and not giving in to the mainstream narrative

[@wayne5508]

What a brilliant podcast. Neither of them afraid of raising their views or listening to those views. Keep doing what your doing Matt, brilliant..

[@8563robbie]

What a fascinating listen. As a Guernseyman I'm a massive fan of Matt Le Tissier.. Simon is the sort of bloke I hate myself for liking. Couldn't take my eyes off this podcast. Well done both.
