Lynam, 80, said Lineker should ‘get on with the football’
Gary Lineker has brushed off criticism from his Match Of The Day predecessor Des Lynam who said he should “get on with the football” and stay away from controversial topics outside the game.
Lynam, 80, told BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House programme: “I like him as a chap, I like him as a broadcaster. But I think there are some areas that he should stay out of. His response came in a tweet replying to a comment by Adil Ray, the creator and writer of BBC1’s Citizen Khan show. During last year’s Qatar World Cup he led criticism of Foreign Secretary James Cleverly for suggesting LGBT+ fans be “respectful of the host nation”.
