This is great footage for people who know who Gary is...but aren't quite old enough to remember him playing. A fantastic, committed and supremely talented professional...and obviously with a big heart and brain as well. I love the way he celebrated goals....always showing his love for what he did. It reminds me of Kenny Dalglish.

I love these old commentators. It's like sitting around a radio in the 80s and listening to this commentary.

If you watch any video of Lineker’s goals on YT you’ll see nearly every one of them he scored with his feet was a shot taken ‘first time’, i.e. without him taking a touch beforehand. His goalscoring style was pure instinct.

You rarely see a perfect hattrick (rightfoot, leftfoot & header) nowadays. Good ol' 80s.

Lineker, always in the right place at the right time

Barcelona newspaper: Catalan player scores 4 against Spain.

The kit was from the Marks and Spencer intimates bedtime collection.

He was an instinctive goal scorer who usually hit the back of the net in the big games. Those players are rare.

Younger people watching this may not know that Lineker was a Barcelona player at the time, so scoring 4 goals on Real Madrid's turf was even more special.

Look at how many great players England had. Lineker, Beardsley, Robson, Hoddle and Waddle to name a few.

Lineker: best modern striker England squad have ever had!!! Above Keane to my understanding. Outstanding!!!

Waddle, Hoddle, Beardsley, Robson, Lineker. We could do with them now.
