As I was delivering the first line in my pants, all I could see in my peripheral vision was four shoulders going up and down, of Alan Shearer and Ian Wright giggling' Gary Lineker tells FFT about the night he hosted Match of the Day in his underwear

Gary Lineker has been the recognizable face of Match of the Day for 26 years and he will be stepping down at the end of the current season. One notable episode that stands out in his career occurred in 2016 when he jokingly promised to present the show in his underwear if Leicester City won the Premier League, a feat many deemed improbable. When Leicester achieved the impossible under Claudio Ranieri, Lineker fulfilled his promise. Looking back in a recent interview, he recalled this moment as one of the most surreal experiences of his career, showcasing his unexpected journey in football broadcasting.

Yeah, the one in the pants thankfully it didn't stand out! That was the most surreal thing I've done on Match of the Day because they said, Right, we'll do the opening of the show stood up.' That doesn't normally happen, but it would have looked odd opening that show at the desk.

As a lifelong Leicester fan, Lineker's disbelief in his team's chances of winning the Premier League in 2016 made the experience of presenting in his underwear even more remarkable.
