Fatboy Slim backs Gary Lineker in Manchester and Liverpool FC's Jurgen Klopp said be considering BBC boycott

Musician Norman Cook - AKA Fatboy Slim - showed his support for Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker during a live on performance in Manchester last night (Friday, March 10). And it's been claimed that Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp could show his solidarity by boycotting the BBC today.

It comes after the face of the BBC football pundit appeared as part of the visual effects used in the DJ’s set at the O2 Victoria Warehouse, in Manchester. Other faces including Prince and Greta Thunberg were included as part of the show. As Lineker’s image appeared behind him, Fatboy Slim turned to applaud the pundit, encouraging the crowd to do the same and prompting cheers.

“Enough respect #ImWithGary,” the DJ said, sharing the video on Twitter. The broadcaster’s son George Lineker retweeted Fatboy Slim’s video, saying “that’s so elite”.
