Gary Lineker fulfils his promise to present Match of the Day in his pants

Robert Redmond

It’s the moment no one asked for, but Gary Lineker has stuck to his promise.

The former England striker tweeted last December, following Leicester City’s win over Chelsea, that if his beloved Foxes win the Premier League he will present the first Match of the Day show of the 2016/17 season in his undies.

Leicester won the title, finishing 10 points clear of Arsenal, and Lineker has spent the whole summer working out in the gym dreading the moment when he appears on national television in his underwear.

However, Lineker proved he’s a good sport and fulfilled his promise.

Good man, Gary. Now put some damn clothes on and present the football.
