Paul Merson has said Matt Le Tissier was issued with several warnings before he was sacked by Sky and recalled the time he told his 'close friend it's not always clever to be clever'.
Le Tissier - who worked for Sky for 15 years - was sacked in August 2020 after being a regular member of Soccer Saturday, which is hosted by popular presenter Jeff Stelling.
The former Premier League footballer was given his marching orders after sharing his controversial views on a variety of subjects including the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
