Paul Gascoigne has been no stranger to the odd headline in his time, and his comments about Gary Lineker should guarantee a few more.
Gazza has named Lineker in an all-time XI of former teammates as part of Sky Sports’ Fantasy Football Club – but when he elaborated on his decision to pick the Match of the Day host, things became a little bizarre.
Quoted in the Daily Mail, Gazza praises the striker’s goal scoring abilities before describing how Lineker’s body was a sight to behold.
“You know what I like about him? His body. What a lovely body,” Gascoigne explained. “Unbelievable, it was so smooth I fancied him. Honestly I really did. I used to see him getting a massage after the game and I thought ‘wow’, he’s beautiful.”
We’re sure Gary’s very flattered.
