Gary Lineker followed through with his promise to present Match of the Day in his boxers if Leicester City won the league last season…
Far from bottling it, the man stood and sat there in his skivvies for the first two games of this season’s inaugural Match of the Day before finally covering his shame after one too many gleeful leers from Ian Wright and Alan Shearer.
But some still weren’t satisfied. Many said that he was actually wearing football shorts rather than boxer shorts.
Lineker, 56, has taken to his Instagram today to finally put all of the doubters in their place and confirmed that he stayed true to his word.
Ignore the banana. Or don’t.
How did it ever come to this? They were boxers, Clem. https://t.co/1Vf6hbzCVY

Of course, what with it being the internet and all, some people are still not entirely satisfied.

if you had appeared in your birthday suit you would have avoided this problem…

No they were clown shorts. I wear boxer shorts and your balls were not hanging out the bottom of them. Fake. Bravo any way.

And, similarly, what with it being the internet and all, some people had an altogether different but just as predictable response to Lineker’s ‘proof’.

At least they’re getting a teensy bit more creative. Not that it’s necessarily a good thing.

Never underestimate the ability of Twitter to reuse a template long beyond the point at which it has been done to death.
