Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier admits he was 'WRONG' for spreading conspiracy theories about Russia's massacre in Bucha... but insists he just used the 'wrong example' and it does NOT change the point he was trying to make

Matt Le Tissier has admitted that he was 'wrong' over his tweet spreading conspiracy theories about Russia's massacre of civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, on Wednesday.

The former Premier League star, 53, was heavily criticised this week after appearing to suggest that the media have lied about the unfolding horrors in eastern Europe, which have seen thousands of people killed and millions become refugees.

The Southampton hero retweeted a post from an account named Unity News Net, which claimed the atrocities in Ukraine had been falsified by the media after 'weapons of mass destruction', 'Covid' and 'the Hunter Biden laptop'.
