More quotes by 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
Ageing footballers never lose their commitment they just lose their pace
Gary Lineker
There's no in between-you're either good or bad. We were in between.
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.

I've loved George Michael for as long as I can remember. He was an absolute inspiration. Always ahead of his time.

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
Very sad to hear the news about George Michael. An incredible talent who brought joy to millions of us with his music.

Congratulations to Thierry Henry on a truly wonderful career. One of the great footballers of our time and a top bloke. Bonne chance.

...an excellent player, but he [Ian Wright] does have a black side.
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.

To be honest, it would have been better to watch it on Ceefax.

Messi doesn't have to do it in the Premier League to prove himself. The Champions League is the ultimate club competition. If he was in the Premier League, he'd be the best player by some distance.
Gary Lineker
