Nice to see the Beeb is giving him a good send-off.

If only that were real, I’d like to promote whoever was responsible for that page.
 
He could have had a very different legacy and respect if he’d hidden his personality and views from the media. He was one of my heroes as a youngster. Now he’s a bit of a tedious embarrassment. BBC should have replaced him years ago.
It's funny, as I never liked him; you'd think he would be an absolute legend for scoring twice against the goons in the SF. You can't take away his goal scoring record, but the fact that he never got booked tells me he was never involved in the nitty gritty of a game.
Bring back Des Lynam :)
 
Best thing they could do for motd is bin all presenters and just show the highlights.
Absolutely

The millions for Linekar, Shearer and whoever else fancies a bit of pocket money that week are ridiculous.

If you were going to watch MOTD, you're not suddenly going to not watch it because a few overpaid footballers aren't on it anymore.

You could get good presenters who are knowledgeable for much less - if you even need presenters.

I always fast forward them anyway and just watch the highlights.
 
Can someone explain the dislike for Lineker? Personally, I think he's alright, but that might have something to do with him signing my home shirt as an 11 year old.

Guy is smug and up his arse but the reason I dislike him is because a girl I used to work with was badly treated by him verging on criminal behaviour. Let’s just say he isn’t trustworthy near ladies.

Lineker's ex, Danielle Bux, was already the wife of a teacher at a school my children attended when she met Lineker.

The teacher was apparently a really decent guy. I think he quit his job not long after his wife's affair with Lineker was made public.
