George Lineker is sitting and chatting in a sunny rooftop garden. A typical 30-year-old, he is talking about how Barcelona let his acca down last weekend and making a list of which Premier League games he would like to get along to in the next few weeks.
He’s got a beaming smile and a friendly manner. His father, Gary, is close by.
The rooftop garden, an oasis in the London metropolis, is on the top floor of Great Ormond Street Hospital. This is the building where George spent seven of the first nine months of his life. He was barely two months old when first diagnosed with leukaemia.
