‘I take it as a compliment that I’ve got three replacements, but it’s down to the fact it’s a massive commitment. They’re top presenters and will do a great job’ Gary Lineker offers his verdict on the broadcasters stepping into his Match of the Day shoes

Gary Lineker has an exclusive interview with FourFourTwo.

Gary Lineker is stepping down as host of Match of the Day next month after 26 years – and he’ll be replaced by not one but three presenters.

Lineker became the fifth regular presenter of the flagship BBC highlights show when he succeeded Des Lynam in 1999.
