His journey from England goalscoring extraordinaire to one of TV's most esteemed presenters has made him a household name - but how well do you know the real Gary Lineker? We're joined by the man at the forefront of televised football on today's episode of Between The Lines! From trading goals and some of the biggest individual accolades in the game to bossing the coverage of it on our screens, that’s still not enough for a man who has chosen to use his gigantic platform to publicise humanitarian issues. Oh - and he’s a great cook too! Gary sits down with Melissa for an in-depth chat about life post-football, his entry into presenting and his thoughts on the current political and social challenges this country is facing. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
