Gary Lineker 'received standing ovation at M&S following BBC suspension'
Gary Lineker has spoken out about a standing ovation at a M&S store just days after he was suspended by the BBC earlier this year.
The BBC’s decision to suspend the former football star sparked a backlash and resulted in a number of his fellow sports pundits, including Ian Wright and Alan Shearer, boycotting Match Of The Day.Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Lineker said the fallout was “all pretty sad”. “What the boys did was incredible,” he said, referring to Wright and Shearer.
He added: “I recall walking to M&S two or three days in, and I got a standing ovation… Well, I suppose everybody’s standing in M&S, but even so.Lineker returned to his presenting duty on March 18, where he fronted live coverage of Manchester City’s FA Cup quarter-final against Burnley alongside Shearer and Micah Richards.
