Matt Le Tissier has stepped aside an ambassador at Southampton football club, shortly after stopping short of apologising for spreading conspiracy theories about Russia's massacre of civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, in his latest Twitter post on Wednesday morning.
The Southampton hero was savaged by his followers on Tuesday after appearing to suggest that the media have lied about the unfolding horrors in eastern Europe.
He 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'.
