Alan Shearer reminds Gary Lineker of his big MoTD night with this, ahem, cheeky tweet

It's highly unlikely any of us were going to miss tonight's Match of the Day.

Not only is it the first of the season, it's also the night that Gary Lineker is expected to uphold his bet. In the depths of last winter, with talk mounting that Leicester City's impressive early season run *might* end in Premier League glory, Lineker boldly tweeted that if the Foxes did go all the way, he'd present Match of the Day wearing nothing but his underwear. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/676520648097865728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw As we all know, Leicester did win the bloody thing, and being the good sport that he is, Lineker appears to be keeping his word.

With hours to go before the former England international appears on live television wearing nothing but a pair of y-fronts, Alan Shearer, one of Lineker's MOTD colleagues, reminded him (as if he needed to) that tonight was his big night with this, ahem, cheeky tweet. https://twitter.com/alanshearer/status/764408226385362944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Before long, Lineker replied - claiming that the diet and training regime he'd undertaken over summer was bearing fruit. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/764408701537189888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw For the record, we highly doubt that this is actually Lineker, or that he'll be opting for a similar choice of underwear when the show goes live later on.
