THE CATFLAP CHINWAG WITH…

Gary Lineker

He's a national institution. The housewives' favourite. The golden boy. The man who captivated an entire nation. And he loves a good packet of salt and vinegar. No not Gareth Gates, it's GARY LINEKER.

 

Who is the most annoying pundit you work with?

Well I work with pretty much the same guys all the time and they're really excellent, we don't go down that route of getting different people for every different game so we stick with the tried and trusted really.

 

What was going on with Hansen's designer stubble a few weeks ago? Did you all take the mick?

Well a little bit, but it was only because he got quite badly burnt on his face and it was quite nasty and it was for medical reasons that he didn't shave. But we still had a laugh at his expense yeah!

 

Do you mourn Lawro's YMCA tache?

It was sad to see it go really, anything that gives us cause to have a pop at him would've been most welcome, but he stuck with it for some time and like most people once they get rid of it, it does look better.
