He never got booked during his entire career so does anything wind up Gary Lineker? Tony manages to dig up a few things!
From having four sons who fought all the time to nearly losing it when a Russian referee refused to penalise anyone for booting him all through a match in Turkey, Gary reveals there’s been a few things to make him grumpy over the years.
He admits politics can annoy him and he’s not immune to a spot of road rage either.
We find out what was going on with that infamous chip penalty Gary missed against Brazil, the angriest players he ever played with, how Maradona’s ‘hand of God’ goal affected him and how in fact England should have won that match 1-0 with Gary the winning scorer.
He reveals where he gets his laid back nature from, how his dad was actually quite an angry man and the only thing he looks back on with regret.
He tells the crazy story of watching ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s Newsnight programme on the hacking scandal only to discover on it that he’d been followed by a tabloid for two years.
And he shares the horrific experience of his eldest son being diagnosed with leukaemia as a baby and thinking they were going to lose him.
Some great, honest and revealing chat from ‘the nicest man in football’.
