I interviewed Gary Lineker last month – he didn’t want his TV career to end like this, the World Cup was supposed to be his grand finale

Gary Lineker has an exclusive interview with FourFourTwo.

“The BBC is an amazing institution, but it’s also a complex company,” Gary Lineker told me last month, during an exclusive interview for FourFourTwo.

“It’s a challenge at times. I think maybe we let ourselves down a bit in terms of cowering to the critics – you’re never going to make them happy anyway. Politically, it’s a difficult place to work, in some ways.”
