Former Southampton striker Matt Le Tissier has taken aim at Ian Wright for what he says is “completely contradictory” support of under-fir e Gary Lineker.
The Match of the Day host is embroiled in a fierce row with BBC bosses for a tweet he posted criticising the government for their asylum policy. Lineker has been pulled from programming as a result with a number of his colleagues - including Wright - also making the decision not to appear in solidarity.
A statement from his Twitter read: “Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I've told the BBC I won't be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.”
