Pretty big error

Shearer won the golden boot at Euro 96...

@@caeserromero3013 Not a World Cup

Harry kane . The only player to score 200 goals and never win anything 😂👍

Rush came close and for me Fowler could have been unstoppable.

@@ShaneJoshua1980 Rush was perhaps on a par with Lineker. I'd edge it to Lineker but you could make a case for either. I don't think Fowler was the same type of striker. He was incredibly skilful and probably scored more spectacular goals ( the one I remember was where he flipped the ball over his head on the edge of the area and then volleyed it home ) but I am not sure he was quite as good at what Rush and Lineker did.

When I use to play at school, I tried.to play in a fashion combining Lineker and Barnes they were my 2 idols growing up. The only thing is I was completely shit at football so not even close 🤣🤣

Means people shit for no reason on CR7

Perfectly said

He wasn’t great at presenting when he started! He was as wooden as the door! Now he must have worked really hard to improve as much as he has.

Not great at marriage

@@lem8829 hear we go. Non football playing and commentating comment don't take long too raise there ugly head. Be whinging about the wages he unfortunately gets paid off the Bbc not his fault he's been successful at everything else.

@@lem8829 Or politics.

Not to those who watched him back in the day

yeah but look how it easy it is to get a yellow card compared to back then

Incredible!

Very true. Although, I didn't say that Lineker was the first. There have been a few before him.

How about John Charles? Or Greavsie?

They built a statue for John Charles at Juventus.

And was a much better player than Lineker ever was.

I dont doubt gary Lineker wasn't a great finisher a great goal scorer bck in the day. But in recent years his stuck his nose and spoke out in politics when his clearly out of his depth. Personally i think people should be judged on merit or the content of they're character... If a person is good at they're job they're good at they're job its simple and if a person is a horrible or nasty or vindictive then they are not a nice person. Treat and gudge people on merit on they're ability or potential ability and how they are as people as individuals... Otherwise anythink else by the definition is racist like you shouldn't judge people on how decent or intelligent they are just based on the natural colour of they're hair... Thre are just simply good and bad people and more gifted and not so gifted... Like i'm white and as a teen i was blond an people at times tried to say i was stupid as by being blond was often seen and used as a way to call me stupid at times... But am i or was i ever really offended from that, nope and sod that and if some people didnt like me back then or dont like me now or thought i was stupid or think i'm stupid now or what ever, they're perfectly free to think and feel how they wish maybe in the past i was a twat for example and they dont like me from then but since an for many years after i could also be a complete and very different person to how some might remember me, exact same goes for them or others, some people at school i might of hated an some of those people i also likely never actually knew or what they lived through and sum of them if i met them now i might really get on with now where bck when i was a teen at school i wouldn't of or vice verser, many might of not liked me back in the day but if they knew me now i might not be the kind of person they thought i was and didn't like or i might of been exactly what they didnt like. But if a person happens to not like me for what ever reason some likely wouldnt even been able to stand me but would that of ment that they were a bad person or somthink... nope absolutely no . I dont wnna be disliked but sumtimes thats life. i sumtimes myself wont like people who like me or who i like but who dont like me such is life... But my point is gary Lineker for example was like a move star & golden globe awarder who gave a speach who called it out and basically said take your reward if your called up but shut the hell up... The likes of tom hanks for example wont have a clue what its like for the average american let alone for the average brit here. Exact same goes for the likes of gary Lineker and many others, sure they have a right to speak they're mind and speak out how they feel and be heard but they're right to a voice shouldn't also take the priority or have more say over other... Like just becuz gary linker for example is rich and famous and at times likes to try and talk politics dosnt mean he actually knows anythink at all about politics and in certain political subjects... Like shut up and leave many of the more informed speak they're mind instead of lies and thinking you know whats best for the public when you clearly but inderstandable are well out of your own depth not the common peasant no more, instead his a rich football presenter. Like when fans booed against the knee its been clearly constantly shown up the knee is done in support for blm which is a radical extreamist far left movement, people like gary Lineker and Gareth southgate trying to claim that the knee isnt political minded is rediculas... The knee has clearly been obviously shown to be a stance in support for the radical extreamist far leftist movements black lives matter and antifa. Neo nazi's are pure scum but seriously the kind of dangeriouly mental and completly brain washed the nutcase the main character was in a very extream movie american history x with edward norton.. Originally blm came about under obama, but then antifa came along in like 2016. Put it this way i'm english/british and i'v never once come accross of anyone as far right extreamist as any of the neo nazis in the movie american history x for example. But the far left is probably jst as bad if not worse come accross over the years time from time very politically extreamist people, i myself also came close by getting so constantly brainwashed enough to a point by a mate who drilled it into me cuz he was so dam fixated over islam that he came close could of potentially from being brainwashed himself he could of potentially of brainwashed myself aswell as a mate i had at the time... Good gezza But we digged deeper all religion aswell as many others like i regard myself as none religious... But from what i see religion can also bring purpose... Religion has also been a massive tool like to wipe and punish solders who disobeyed they're orders..

He was rapid too wasnt he. So quick.

@@braindonor8753 so hard to pin down and that’s a nightmare for defenders because you see it week in week out where penalties get given away because they’ve misjudged the pace

Me too - great player, nice man. When he went to Spurs there was talk of him coming to my team and I wish he had.

He's definitely a decent man...

What gentleman doesn't?

I mean....the video shows lots of running through and quality finishing though lol. I think in his later years at Spurs he had alot more "fox in the box" type goals but earlier on in his career he was quite pacey to be fair

It is harder than most people think. The number of non strikers miss the net from inside the 6 yard box is quite high. Not having a go at you. Just highlighting the skill needed to finish.

@@jbosco3970 I totally agree. I was more just reflecting that I used to think he was just "in the right place at the right time", but then look at how many he scored compared to so many others (I think he still has highest number of England goals in a tournament to this day). I realsied when watching this video that to be that "lucky" takes a lot of skill that most strikers simply don't have.

As the the old adage attests.. if it was that easy they'd all be doing it.

He was way more than just a poacher, still one of the best poachers ever. For me the 2nd only behind Romario, who was also way more than just a poacher.

We would have won the world cup with those 2 together in their prime. 🙌🏻

That was certainly a dream pairing up front. Shame that Lineker was at the end of his career at that point otherwise the 90’s might have panned out very differently indeed.

did we win?

@@guerrilla5002 1-0…I think Shearer scored

Wow. I didn’t realise this. What a partnership that would be.

We didn't make as much profit on him as we should as due to a sell on clause we had to pay Leicester a cut of the fee.

Yeah, he's clearly worked really hard to mold his media presence. Fantastic player and presenter!

@@FootballIconic the BBC spent a fortune on making him a good presenter.

@@FootballIconic 😂😂😂

@@chrisgabb9242 geez, what a rant. Fact is, he was playing in the time when black players had bananas thrown on the pitch and were getting the monkey chants and the national front recruitment at the football. So his opinion is worth listening to rather than whinge about. I would ask if you would be this vitriolic if he said the complete opposite and was very right wing and less compassionate? And as for talking about BLM and antifa negates your argument. Are you disputing players actual lived experiences of racism and team mates support of not wanting to deal with racism? Or are you just shouting that BLM is terrorism, and completely ignoring the real reason for the players protests, which is eradication of racism, which they STILL experience, and people like you still demand they shut up and ignore it?

@@philwill0123 Omg shut up educate yourself taking the knee for blm Marxist movement it’s disgraceful do you even no what blm stand for?

Great footballer, as a person...well...we won't talk about that here!

@@Grandmastergav86 Why isn't he a good person?

@@joebees21 Clearly doesn't share his world view. He isn't an evil person put it that way.

@@joebees21 I think the issue for.many fans is that he is anti-racism and anti-brexit and even believes in having compassion towards refugees. In some people's eyes this makes him "woke" and therefore a terrible person.

@@gareth2736 The cheek of it! I'll have no basic compassion for my fellow Human Being in MY sport

Thanks so much, brother! Really appreciate it!

Even Alan Shearer

Im fom north. Ol'dam. Whalley Range=wally range Darwen=Darren

New car st. lee United

On the list!

There are so many though already. I'd like to see more less known players, who were great. Like Gary. Everyone knows how good Gazza was.

@@rooneye Totally agree, everyone knows how special Gazza was - the Lineker video was very educational and informative as many football fans still don't realise or underappreciate just how good Lineker was. (His goals were incredibly scrappy but he scored LOADS ) We are all well aware that Gazza was a Bad-Ass Player. But a Gazza tribute video may be nice to add to the millions that already exist 😉

Thanks so much! Will do!

Keegan, Wilkins, Hateley, Woodcock, Blissett, Cunningham...

Okay? He didn’t say he was the first lol, he said ‘one of the first’

@Dan Addy Maybe, but you just abuse the privilege.

Jimmy Greaves went to Juventus from Chelsea in 1961 and he said though he was never happy there it turned him from a boy into a man because of the excessively 'physical' attention he received from the defenders in every game. He came back to England to join Spurs.

@@CCCoNeTiMe , your comment is hilarious. I fell off my chair reading it 🤣🤣🤣

You were younger. Same with me. Everything was better. The grass was greener.

@@Sebastian_Najmanovich Nostalgia's only part of it though, diving wasn't as prevalent as it is today...

Cool story, GARY

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!

@@FootballIconic no problem! i hope you start to grow soon. interesting and informative videos

Thanks man!

I'm gutted Gazza, Shearer , Ronaldinho or Robben didn't sign for Utd but I'm glad he hasn't put a stain on our Club to be honest mate. Regards, Dave the Rave /Raver Wythenshawe Red

Gavin Peacock, Alan Shearer, Gareth Southgate, Andy Cole, David Beckham I'm sure there are others who I have missed out who have great temperaments that I cannot think of right now. They are all by nature introverts but well mannered and focused....

Exactly this. 86 FA Cup final: goal. 86 World Cup win or go home vs Poland: hat trick; Round of 16 vs Paraguay: brace; Quarter final vs Argentina: goal. 88 Copa Del Rey final: creates only goal with a great shot blocked by keeper. 89 Cup Winners’ Cup final: hockey assist for 1-0 with brilliant cross. 90 World Cup Quarter final: brace to tie up score twice vs Cameroon, then ties it versus West Germany. 91 FA Cup semis North London Derby: brace for 3-1 win into the final, where he has a legitimate goal incorrectly ruled out. Lineker was so reliable for the big occasion. Much more so than his successors Shearer and Kane.

@@hitthurdeaux Great reply. Much as I like shearer and Kane, Lineker is the best player for the big occasion that we have had in England.

Gary was the original Fox in the box. If it wasn't for the blind linesman in the World Cup 1990 semi final he would surely have a World Cup winners medal as well as the Golden Boot.

You're spot on. Mistake on my part!

So was he with two other clubs that year too?
