More quotes by Gary Lineker
I am not leaving twitter. If the mindless few defeat the thoughtful majority we are all doomed.
Gary Lineker
Footballers are more likely to work better if they get a pat on their back from the boss. A knife in the back is never the answer.
Gary Lineker
I've only got a Saturday job so my weekdays are generally pretty free.
Gary Lineker
We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagne, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart.
Gary Lineker
I'm disappearing from twitter for a while. Need a break from the bile. Local prejudice just seems to bring out the worst in some people.
Gary Lineker
Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
Gary Lineker
When you're winning games, everyone thinks everything the manager says and does is fantastic. Then it goes the other way, and those earlier criticisms of players can backfire.
Gary Lineker
My wife Danielle and I love travelling, different cultures and good weather.
Gary Lineker
I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.
Gary Lineker
My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage.
Gary Lineker
Ooh, it's too embarrassing to share my innermost romantic secrets - although I have written Danielle the odd poem. If anything they are more comedic than romantic. They used to be well received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept.
Gary Lineker
Ageing footballers never lose their commitment they just lose their pace
Gary Lineker
Fella’s a genius. Best ever by a distance in my life time. Never really saw Pele… Souness, Gullit, Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game with which we are not familiar.
Gary Lineker
Chris Hughton has been sacked by Norwich. Now? With 5 games to go? Utterly bonkers!
Gary Lineker
I've loved George Michael for as long as I can remember. He was an absolute inspiration. Always ahead of his time.
Gary Lineker
The whole kiss-and-tell thing is a negative approach that often happens in a World Cup. We will see negative stories about the players and it can affect their confidence and the overall performance of the national team on the pitch, let alone the bid to actually stage the competition.
Gary Lineker
I wouldn't want to go out six nights a week and watch somebody's reserves playing to check out a footballer to see if we're going to buy him.
Gary Lineker
To be honest, it would have been better to watch it on Ceefax.
Gary Lineker
I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.
Gary Lineker
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.
