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.

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'

@alex29w39 4 года назад

@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

@ChubbyChecker182 4 года назад

His pants were ridiculous though, they were huge

@ddvsgd9508 4 года назад

@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.

@crazynumnums6096 4 года назад

@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.

@adamheitner2421 4 года назад

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...

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.

@SKa-tt9nm 2 года назад

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.

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.

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!

Maradona dies but his images recorded for future generations to watch. Lineker gathered this story by his side.

@jimsu2726 4 года назад

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

@shanewright2772 4 года назад

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.

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.
