Lineker vows to appear on TV in his undies if Leicester win EPL
Fancy seeing Gary Lineker in his underwear, and on television to boot?
Well, women in the UK may get their wish, provided Leicester City carry out their end of the bargain by winning the English Premier League title.
The BBC Match of the Day (MOTD) presenter and former England and Tottenham striker made the announcement on Tweeter on Tuesday morning (Singapore time), soon after Leicester had beaten defending champions Chelsea 2-1.
Lineker promised that he will wear only his underpants while presenting the MOTD season-opener next year should the Foxes win the league crown.
Underdogs Leicester are two points clear of Arsenal atop the league standings after notching their 10th win in 16 matches.
Lineker’s wife, Danielle Bux, was quick to join in the fun too, trolling him in a tweet that said she hopes “they’re clean”, in reference to what happened to the England striker at the 1990 World Cup.
Linker revealed in a 2010 interview that during a match during the 1990 World Cup in Italy, he suffered a dodgy stomach and ended up, well, let's just say he needed to change his shorts at halftime.
There are a number of videos that show him trying to deal with the situation. He hid it well, because aside from those on the pitch, nobody had a clue that such a thing had happened.
