Gary Lineker

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I saw on twitter this morning that Danny Baker is replacing him on BT Sport. Not sure if it’s a wind up though? But think he’d be an interesting choice.

Fair play to him!

Very left field choice if so.

Clearly a piss take, he also posted this

I assume he and all his family have all got priority one season tickets then? 

Think there's probably a different pot for someone that worked very hard to save the club from administration to be honest.....and rightly so.

Absolute legend.

Love it when he's there and his name gets an airing like it did at Wembley. Should be sung, like all of our good former players, at all games still.

 

I know a lot of people criticise him for not having the same views as the match going fan, but it's still great to see someone in his position support us and always put us at the forefront really.

Too right,  I think former players get complementary tickets anyway don’t they? 
 

It wouldn’t surprise me if he has a few seats in a corporate area though that he gives out to friends and family on match days.

 

Either way a club legend who never hides the fact he supports Leicester who is going to follow us over Europe is great news, he certainly enjoyed the chanting he was getting at Wembley.

Good on the guy. I started watching us as he started. Compare him to Smudger. No contest.

Hi guys

Just read about Gary turning down a new contract with BT so he can do a bucket list thing and follow the foxes in Europe with his boys.

If it's TRUE...what a legend...if it's not hes still a legend 🦊🦊🦊

I’m going to take that as a positive omen.
 

Anyone found some early odds on us to win the thing?

He’s going to be delighted when we finish 3rd in the group after suffering a late November defeat in freezing conditions in Moscow  

At least we'll get a second chance in the LDV Euro League if that happens! Might get a chance for revenge against Spurs in that case, unless they've already been knocked out by Astana or Lincoln Red Imps by then!

And if people think he’s going to be sat in the away then they’ve got another thing coming as well  

[RonnieTodger]

There’s a weird yet large bunch on Twitter that think they can tell Gary Lineker how to live his life. 

[sheffield_fox]

That's legendary. Nice one Gary

Welcome to twitter. It's largely best avoided.

Is Stringer lined up to replace him at BT?

Better get the bingo ready for what sandwich he's ate 

[HankMarvin]

His going to be terribly disappointed if European travel is banned in the midst of another winter wave.

[AjcW]

I know they’re probably joking but the “wonder if he’ll have trouble getting tickets” set, are a bit weird.... seem to have forgotten that we might not have a club without him

It's hard to know whether the bit he added:

 

"How many opportunities will we have?"

 

Is

 

a) a contemplation of his advancing years and a realisation we all have a finite amount of time on the planet

 

Or

 

b) A suggestion that City will be out of European contention and mid table or lower once Vardy retires and we sell Tielemans.

How do you get 4 sons thats like some sort of evolutionary thing - anyway they can buy their own tickets

[ARM1968]

Proper fan. Great bloke. Hope he enjoys our endeavours.

Let's hope they don't watch Carragher on Sky every week, then.

Maybe he grew up watching us and still sees all this as a dream?

We bumped into his lads in Copenhagen after the game, they were sound to be fair. 

 

Tickets to be collected with photo identification in the host city, matching the name of the season ticket used to purchase
