Celebrity gary lineker

Simply 13 times departing Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker made our day so much better on Twitter

As if you haven’t already seen by now, Gary Lineker is leaving BBC1’s Match of the Day.
He’ll stay on the show until the end of this season and will be back for the 2026 World Cup, so his detractors (and indeed his many fans) haven’t seen the last of him just yet.

Which seemed as good an excuse as any to look back on 13 times the great man made our day so much better on Twitter.

3. ‘When he fabulously owned Frank Lampard (and his dawning realisation made it even better)’

4. ‘When Jonathan Gullis challenged him to stand for Parliament’

5. ‘When he magnificently owned Richard Madeley’
