Today, Lineker is a figure beyond football. A seasoned presenter, the face of the BBC and, on social media, an increasingly bold political voice,, but he should always be remembered as the superb player he was too. A sniper, a predator, and one of the finest penalty box forwards of his time.

He's also a big fan of crisps.
And he drops logs on the pitch
@@charliepollock3886 Wasn't a log to be fair. It had too much liquidity for it to be a log.
Cheers
@Bub Zilla 😂🤣
His presentation on day 1 of MOTD 2017 in just his pants was just incredible. He kept his word. Love his passion for the game even after not playing for 27 years.
His comment on Messi was the best description of Messi I've ever heard: 'Messi watches the game of football from above whilst he plays it at the same time'
@Roni Ties so youre saying Ronaldo is better because he's won more? If that was the case, Origi would be better than Harry Kane because he's won the UCL
His pants were ridiculous though, they were huge
@Roni Ties Absolutely boggles the mind how people can keep parroting this narrative that Messi is all natural talent where as CR7 just spent hours on the training ground. That close control and dribbling was produced from countless hours of drilling in training. Also he used to be crap at free kicks and is now the finest FK taker in Europe, that took plenty of hardwork and training. Also Cristiano is one of the finest physical athletes there is. He has the same vertical leap as the average NBA player and most of them are about 6 foot 7 where as CR7 is 6'1. So to act like he's a guy that spent hours in the gym and didn't have ridiculous natural talent is stupid.
@Roni Ties Right, because physicality isn't genetic in any way. Some people just have a great natural physical shape. Like Ronaldo. Moreover, what can Ronaldo do that Messi can't? Win headers? Is that it? Come on. Messi is a more gifted player. He's more fun to watch. And in my opinion, he's better. Only by a little though.
Ddv Sgd vertical leap doesn't matter how tall are you. Whether your 5'0" or 7'0" if your vertical leap is 40" (which is pretty good for an NBA player). It's the same, obviously you can jump higher because your taller but don't think he's "jumping as high as a 6'7 NBA player". They're both the same distance off the ground. Plus he's old...
What Lineker is famous for:
- Shitting himself in a WC game
- Shagging crisps
Also Bottling it wearing shorts and grandstanding to people about voting remain whilst evading a bunch of taxes offshore
What are crisps? (American speaking)
@@alexguerrier9363 Americans call them chips. It's a reference to how he is the mascot of Walkers, which is a large snack company in the UK.
Alex Guerrier you guys know ‘walkers’ as ‘lays’ I believe :) and chips for you = Crisps for us , fries for you = chips for us although we also use the word fries it depends what type they are. Isn’t English a wonderful language xD
Wha about goals not a true football fan obviously
As a Spurs fan, quite obsessive in the early 90s I loved this fella. Not so in later years but I would thank him for my 18th Birthday card. Just for donating blood. A stock, printed card with a printed signature
Absolutely love this, great video about a great man, whom I knew too little about
Great player, great broadcaster
Richard Obidegwu and full of shit on Twitter
Good goalscorer not a great footballer imho , average boring presenter
@@millwallholdings he done his job as a striker. And one of the best in the world at it. No team would not want him in there team even today.
@@millwallholdings They could get 3 or 4 random blokes from the nearest pub to do what Lineker, Shearer, Wright and the rest do, and for far lower salaries.
Harry Kane has the finishing of Lineker with the vocals of Beardsley
England 86 and 90 would not have been achieved without Lineker.
Love these vids. Cover a wide range. Current stuff plus things i grew up with. Top content
He also had a west end play written about the 1990 semi final with his name in the title, "An Evening with Gary Lineker."
Maybe do a video on Alex Ferguson before he won premier leagues at man united
Legend as a player and a presenter/journo. He's pretty much the only one worth listening to.
And yet, despite 30 goals Everton seemed diminished with him that year. It was like a team that had been put together to score from all over the pitch suddenly had to channel and ficus on one player and we lost that extra gear we had the season before, with Andy Gray and the season after with "no-name" Wayne Clarke.
Rather than the old chestnut about him soiling himself in a world cup semi final, it would have been better to focus on the way he flagged to Bobby Robson that Gascoigne was falling to pieces - the "keep your eyes on him" signal. That shows him for the profoundly decent man and well as the thinking footballer he was.
didn’t know he was that successful as a player, nice
He wasn’t.
@@Xani41 yes he was... literally one of the best strikers ever lol
Young City Bandit one of the best 200 strikers in Europe maybe
Roni Ties no league title and no international trophy 🤷🏽♂️
A few cups here and there
@@Xani41 Competition was a lot more then, lots of strong teams all over Europe, not like today where most of the world class players play in the typical "big teams" (PSG, Barca, Bayern, Madrid, Juve, etc).
The nicest person on football television...
Such a fine man
Monday motivation
That Everton team of the mid-80s was a machine. Alas often overlooked by the media when they look back on great sides. They missed a treble of titles by 2 points and lost Neville Southall in the 85/86 run in when on International duty on a disgrace of a pitch in Dublin that wasn't fit for planting spuds never mind playing Football.
Do a video on the Makelele Role
You forgot to mention the first Barca player to score a hat trick at the Bernabau
That was the important part of the fact
i love striker like this lineker, inzaghi (my idol), van nistelrooy..berbatov....lazy..super opportunist
Is it true that he was never booked ?
Aidan Dempsey yup. The close he got was when a ref in Spain didn’t like the fact lineker smiled at him.
Yes, although to be fair, I don't recall seeing him ever try to tackle a player, interceptions yes, but not tackles. That's not a criticism, just that I think he tried to focus as a striker and his runs.
The only fouls he ever committed, was if he was caught offside on making a run.
Also, the other reason was he was never the type to backchat a referee, regardless of how bad the decision.
Brian Clough‘s tactics would be nice 🤔🤔🤔
Leicester legend 🦊
That’s guys pretty good maybe he should advertise some crisps
1980s*
Yep, Everton were nothing special in the 90s. They were a top team in the 80s
Everton were a "powerhouse" - which is to say, they had their most successful period - in the 80s, not the 90s.
He is so famous, my u14 football mate in 86 was nick named Lah Lineker, short for Abdullah.🤣🤣🤣
A video of an Everton player, huzzah!
If he had joined us at United in the summer of 1985 instead of Everton we would have won the championship that season. The goals dried up for us in the 2nd half of the 85/86 season and with him playing that wouldn’t have happened. He was offered to United and he wanted to come but for some reason it didn’t happen and he went to goodison instead. Great striker.
Everton was bigger than utd back then until fergie got a hold
BlueGoon 420 they might have had a better team but they certainly weren’t bigger.
@@mrkipling2201 everton had more trophies than utd before the fergie dominance started and was considered the bigger club
BlueGoon 420 United were always considered the bigger club. Historically there’s only Liverpool who match us. I don’t know about Everton having more trophies at that point either.
@@mrkipling2201 well everton was deffo considered bigger and historically you wasn't anywhere near Liverpool until fergie arrived it took you 20 odd years to catch Liverpool and Everton up and you only overtook everton coz they had zero investment until recently
In which parallel universe were Everton a powerhouse in the 1990's? Their average league position was about 16th!
I've still not forgiven Graham Taylor.
i believe wayne rooney was much better than gary linekar in all aspects coming from a liverpool fan though
No no no
Rooney only ever scored more than 20 goals twice that’s embarrassing
DID YOU SAY STROKER OR STRIKER ?
First wc I ever watched was Italia90. I don't have to say anything else.
Dunged himself when he came up against ROI
There was no country named "West Germany" and there was no west german football association or west german football team or west german people. It's a misnomer. Just saying. I know it's not the topic of the video, but it kind of bugs me when media uses these wrong denotations. On both sides of the iron curtain, the two nations called themselves "Germany", and their football associations both explicitly stated they represent all Germans, and would accept and use players no matter if they were from the capitalist FRG or the socialist GDR (even if practicality would usually split the player base along political lines). The two nations football associations represented two different political systems, but not two different people. And no country or football association involved had "west" in their name (or "east" for that matter).
Oh do shut up.
Do a video on xhaka and the disgrace that the fans of my club are
Tut tut TIFO- shock horror- you said Everton were a powerhouse in the 1990's- really? in which timeline was that? I think you meant the 1980's- when Lineker actually played for them- i'll let you off this time as ive seen loads of great TIFO videos and im a big fan- but lets not get complacent with your facts- cheers
Leo Messi's PR
He shat himself
Big Ears, Big Pants
An "increasingly bold political voice" yeah, on the extreme left wing...
You forgot he is an EU campaigner
And?
arg ento hes a bell end
Doubt it's relevant. When HITC Sevens did a video on Romario, they didn't mention his political career.
@@bigguyforyou5054 again... And?
1980s not 90s. Wow if you gunna educate people get it right
Nah he's a crisp salesman
Whatever. He shat his pants during match. That's all you need to know
Didn't you shit your bed just last week?
Great player but can't stand him as a presenter. Despite earnig £1.75 million per year as the BBC's highest paid presenter he is "forced" to present champions league coverage on BT Sport. I mean, how can you survive on that? Me Jealous? You bet.
Legend has it Lineker was so poor growing up he used to have to practice football with potatoes. He would then sell the mangled potato shards at markets. These were the first crisps
Lmao fuck off 😂
You had me in the first half lol
Poor maybe, but always had underpants at least 😂

Dont forget about the time he shat himself on the pitch.... elite striker tho
I knew someone would bring that up 😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️
Lmao
Hahaha
I'm happy Tifo didn't mention that!
Yes. We know. Boring edgelords on the internet never shut up about it.
Why would you gloss over his time at Barcelona like that? He won his most important trophy here, the Cup Winner's Cup, and a Copa del Rey, and scored 52 in 137.
Because Barcelona got absolutely dominated in the 80s. Real won 5 in a row and Hugo Sanchez was scoring goals for fun. Barca brought in stars like lineker, schuster and maradona and couldn’t come close to RM. Until Barca brought in the dream team - Stoichkov, koman, etc.
@@SKa-tt9nmmaradona left before Madrid’s dominance
I think it would be a nice idea to do a brief history of Everton in the 80s. I think people forget how good they were during that decade because English clubs were banned from Europe so they couldn’t have a historic run in the competition like Forest or Villa before them.
All because of Liverpool
@@dark_yanda that Howard Kendall would run the Europe
@@dark_yanda 39 = 96
Why were English clubs banned in the 80s??
@@justaharmlesspotato9653 I think there was a fight between juventus and Liverpool in a European final and 39 Italians died
This is the content I didn't even realise I needed.
He is a sanctimonious, virtue signalling hypocrite
Also never recieved even a yellow card in his whole career
Only because he never tackled anybody.
COYH, UTT Yeah that seems likely in a 16 year career. What an ignorant comment
@@poshboy111 awww😭
He did get a red though
ural wong He actually didn’t. He was even honoured with a FIFA fair play award as a result
That’s so strange. I was just reading about his career and then this gets uploaded a few minutes later.
J do you know this weeks Euromillions numbers?
Tifo hacked your account and used your browsing history for ideas...
Were you reading The Athletic? :p
You need to call Mr Snowden, pronto!!
Shourya Das hahah no I was just on Wikipedia
Everton were a "footballing powerhouse" in the 1980s - not the 1990s
Lineker, from Toffees to Crisps.
It would've been really interesting had Lineker took his place in Everton's European Cup campaign in 85/86. It by his own admission was the best side he ever played in. Yet we were cheated out of it by that unjust ban.
And a thoroughly decent bloke with zero narcissistic tendencies.
Not brought to you by the athletic?!
Impossible
-A bold political voice' 😂😂
A centrist, for the 2012 Olympic style status quo forever 💩
Nice vid.
Embarrassing ending
@Boring Name Fair enough, agreed. But a 'bold' political voice is Thatcher, a 'bold' political voice is Corbyn, a 'bold' political voice is not Nick Clegg 🤷🏻♂️
He is a great guy, I really admire his style in MOTD and watching the show has brought me even closer to the beautiful world of English Football. Greetings from Finland.
5:30
You left out his career highlight...
Italia '90, Cagliari, June 21 (1990), England versus Republic of Ireland: scoring a 9th minute goal and then getting caught short or, as he put it in an interview, "relaxing himself" on the pitch in the second half ;-)
England got properly lucky against the Roger Milla-inspited Cameroun in the quarter final...
Also it was his consortium that saved Leicester City when they went into administration in the early 2000's.
2029... Harry Kane is presenter of Match of The Day
ChubbyChecker182 dont think so as he would need to be able to speak properly to present
Can TV ordinance hear what Harry Kane says?
We will need subtitles
Okay then, maybe Peter Beardsley :-)
and he's still yet to present a show in his underwear.
Gary Lineker was a great player. A master at spotting a defenders weaknesses ,analysing them hawking them waiting to pounce, he new when they were letting up and starting to rest and there he was to poach at that he was the best, he may not have been a dribbler or master passer of the ball, but he could score from nowhere at that the best of all!
Two surprise omissions: Many other players said he was incredibly lazy in training and he received a remarkable lack of yellow/red cards.
He also said, that Everton team was better than anything in Europe. Best team he played in.
And Liverpool was better than Everton.
@@SKa-tt9nm at that moment, no it wasn't, although they were the closest team to them
@@SKa-tt9nm When they were finishing 2nd to them in 85 and 87 ?
So you're not gonna mention how he shit myself on the pitch. Ok😅😂
It may be worth noting that his move into the media was planned while he was a player, always looking behind the scenes at interviews asking how things worked. He was called "mini Motty" in reference to john motson. A famous commentator in the UK.
because I know you looked it up too
Nagoya Grampus Eight is probably famous for being Wenger's pre-Arsenal club
Wenger did not manage Lineker, Wenger joined about 18 months after he left
I think people don't talk about him because 1. Lineker doesn't have a massive ego like someone with his achievements might do, and 2. because he wasn't particularly a flashy player, and 3. during his playing days he was very low key and had somewhat a private, quiet, and arguably boring demeanor... But this dude was absolutely a world class striker in his days, just think Lewandowski, Van Nistelrooy or Trezeguet in the modern era
If not for Maradona's Hand of God in WC86, he could arguably have lead the England squad to the WC final
If Everton pay £800,000 in 1985. How much would Lineker be worth to Everton today? Lineker one better England Captain. Sad how Linker end this England Career. 80 England caps & 48 goals not bad at all.
If Leicester win the league he's gunna shave his head this time. Which will NOT be a good look for a man with ears as ridiculous as his lol He didn’t think he was good enough to be playing for England when he first got his cap. Which is unusual for a player to say. Normally players are so convinced of their own ability even if they’re shit lol
He was a decent player. I’ll give him that. An overrated presenter/pundit though.
Maradona dies but his images recorded for future generations to watch. Lineker gathered this story by his side.
Champagne socialist and remoaner
A brilliant tribute to his playing career.
jeff malone 👍 yes, surprised they didn’t mention that!
I'm sorry but I watch this channel because the mic quality is amazing
Beautiful piece. Always doing a good job. Just wanted to encourage you. Big ups
Legend but he should keep his gob shut about political issues as should all celebs.
Absolutely lethal finisher was Lineker.
The goal he scored in the semi final of Italia 90 against the Germans was him in a nutshell. If you gave him a sniff of a chance in the box he buried it.
As a young fan of course, never saw him in action or saw his media career start but one thing is for sure he is superb on TV, even if he was a spud 😏. He’s definitely a Class act.
He also shat himself during a game once
Englands footballing National treasure
Shat on pitch
They forgot to mention his efforts to help rescue Leicester from bankruptcy/administration which then began the greatest comeback story in the history of sports.
But he didn't know how to control it (i don't mean the football ;))
Football is a simple game - 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win. ;-)
The famous Gazza starts crying, it doesn't look good face to camera.
FlapjackGTHD THE greatest fourth wall break in the history of TV. At that moment we were all in Turin
Pity about his SJW leftist politics
His politics are anything but bold. He's about as milquetoast as the come. He's just famous and repeats the current acceptable thought.
0:43 Everton were one of the powerhouses of English football in the 1980's NOT 1990's!
Everton escaped relegation by skin of their teeth in 94 and 98, and would have gone down in 99 had it not been for Kevin Campbell's goals.
Nice guy, good presenter but not worth half of his BBC salary.
One of the best poachers that has ever played the game.
Amazing finisher
Correction. Everton were very good in the 80's. They've been shit ever since
Everton power houses of the 1990s more like a few seasons in the mid 1980s
Don’t worry he’s not underrated to a generation not fed by a Xbox … Englands best . Ever 🏴
