Matt Le Tissier says 'I would do exactly the same thing again' and he has 'zero regret' about his anti-vax, Ukraine war and 9/11 conspiracy theories - despite losing his job at Sky Sports

Matt Le Tissier has insisted he has no regrets over his controversial behaviour on social media, despite claiming it cost him his punditry job at Sky Sports.

Le Tissier was axed by the broadcaster in August 2020 alongside fellow Soccer Saturday panellists Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson, and later blamed his dismissal on his refusal to wear a BLM badge and his views on Covid-19.

The former Southampton striker was criticised for sharing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories in 2021, with Professor Keith Neal, an expert in public health at the University of Nottingham, accusing him of putting lives at risk by encouraging people to not get the jab.
