Bloomsbury presents Gary Lineker: A Portrait of a Football Icon by Chris Evans read by Simon Darwen
'Full of pace and style, just like its subject ... a vivid, nostalgic reminder of Lineker's greatness as a player' - Leo McKinstry
'Skilfully crafted - there is not much more you can ask from a biography' - Patrick Barclay
ENGLAND CAPTAIN. WORLD CUP HERO. SERIAL GOALSCORER. MATCH OF THE DAY HOST. FOOTBALL ICON.
As player and pundit, Gary Lineker has been a prominent figure in English football for more than 40 years. He scored 48 goals in 80 games for England - coming within a penalty of being the country's record goalscorer - and is the only player to have topped the goalscoring charts at three different clubs. He famously never received a red or yellow card, and hosted the BBC's Match of the Day for 25 years.
This enlightening biography - the first for 30 years - follows Lineker's career, from the school report which said, 'He concentrates too much on football' to his phenomenal goalscoring record and development as a media personality. Through meticulous research and interviews with teammates and opponents, coaches, journalists and commentators, journalist Chris Evans reveals the inside stories and backroom anecdotes from his early days at Leicester City; the big-money moves to Everton and Tottenham Hotspur; and the highs and lows of spells at Barcelona and Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan.
Gary Lineker always played with a smile on his face and an assassin's touch in front of goal, while his charm and playful humour won over millions on TV. This biography provides a fascinating insight into one of English football's most popular characters.
Chris Evans regularly writes for FourFourTwo, with his work also appearing in the Guardian, the Independent, the Daily Telegraph and other national papers, as well as the BBC Sport and Mail websites. He is the author of How to Win the World Cup: Secrets and Insights from International Football's Top Managers.
