'Gary Lineker never received a single yellow or red card during his entire 16-year professional career (1978–1994), making him one of the cleanest-playing footballers in history'

Sorry I am doing this because my City Leicester is so proud of our Gary Lineker.

Gary Lineker from Leicester, the City that welcomes immigrants.

It’s shocking how Gary Lineker, sports presenter, was removed from the BBC for having views on human rights, but Mason has a very very obvious political bias and yet is somehow still the political editor

Moin cif and all. Alarm rather rudely disturbed g’daughter and I having lunch with G. Lineker and friends - very accepting of “dats mine” for both food and other items (GD obvs).
Freezer filling up with ginger prepped yesterday making the house smell fantastic.

If the BBC gave Lineker Chris Mason’s job ratings would triple overnight!
Can we have another petition to replace Mason and Kuenessberg please?
👇He was made to step back from presenting on BBC for 3 days due his criticism of Tory Govt’s immigration policy on Twitter

He’s paid £275,000 a year by BBC👇for cheerleading Reform, amplifying anti migrant, racist rhetoric, not challenging them/their ”policies” and sniping at Labour, Greens etc

I can’t stand Chris Mason and will forever love Gary Lineker.

Overall? Lineker
Modern Day? Lloris
Personal favourite (though not the best)? Lennon

Gary Lineker, Stephen Fry or Mick Lynch 🤔

Imagine the collective meltdown if someone like Gary Lineker did something like this talking about the emergent browshirts. He'd probably have to go back to Nagoya to not go through daily harassment from the rightwing press with the Guardian shaking their head to know they also disagree with it.

Just reflecting on the absolutely horrifying yet totally plausible scenario that Campbell and Stewart will still be podcasting in 23 years' time, when everything will belong to Gary Lineker

Gary Lineker style too. 👏
October 10, 2026 at 6:37 AM
Lineker for me.

Gary Lineker! Great footballer, great bloke!
October 9, 2026 at 2:15 PM
That Lineker needs to pay heed

Gary Lineker. Scored twice in beating the lot down the road in the 1991 FA Cup semifinal. Nuff said.

Stupidly early on Sunday morning?
Must be time for #motd
October 11, 2026 at 4:31 AM
Kane, Lineker and Greaves are correct
October 9, 2026 at 8:16 AM
The other upside of that point is that I get to watch #MOTD later, and do my Gary Lineker joke again.
I know you love it...

Gary Lineker better than both of them by a distance.
October 9, 2026 at 2:21 PM
A rotating cast of celebs and politicians with even a faintly left wing bent have been darkly dismissed as “being on Moscow’s payroll”. Dr David Owen was one. Gary Lineker another.
alright everyone, tell us which famous person your mom dislikes for indeterminate reasons
my mom is like this with joel mchale. which makes me wonder, does everybody's mom have a random celebrity/athlete they don't like for reasons? 😂

Now, you can argue with this or not, but outside of politics reporting, interviews, etc, the BBC’s policy is to be free of political messaging. This is why Lineker got into the trouble he got into. I personally don’t think it is a political message, but someone does.
