In an interview he did for FourFourTwo magazine six years ago, Le Tissier admitted that he was regularly mistaken for former England bowler Phil Tufnell.

This was even more so at cricket matches, where people would ask him for an autograph thinking he was Tufnell, who took over 1,000 first-class wickets in his career.

    I would be happy to “struggle with” Rachel Riley.

    PS: MLT is an all-time legend of the English game. It is criminal that he didn’t have a fair go at the national side. GH should be ashamed.
