Gary Lineker's footballing career was remarkable to say the very least.

As a player and pundit, Lineker has been a prominent figure in English football for more than 40 years. Having smashed in 48 goals in 80 games for England - whilst also coming within a penalty of being the country's record goalscorer.

He famously never received a red or yellow card, and hosted the BBC's Match of the Day for 25 years, before stepping down at the end of the 2024/25 season.

This enlightening biography - the first for 30 years - follows Lineker's career, from the school report which said, 'He concentrates too much on football' to his phenomenal goalscoring record and development as a media personality.

'Full of pace and style, just like its subject ... a vivid, nostalgic reminder of Lineker's greatness as a player'
