How can someone play 500+ games and never be awarded a yellow or red card? No one will ever do that again.
shareWhen he played he did nothing but stand up front. He never tracked back or defended like modern players.
He never put himself in a position to get carded due to never puttting a tackle in.
But still I think it's impressive that when he received the ball he didn't accidentally lose it and foul a player in desperationaand get a yellow.
shareWhen he lost the ball he said fuck it . Tackling back was gazza's job ouch!
shareA very different game in the 80's and 90's.
Lots of tackles that would get an instant yellow today were fine then.
I guess that's true. Especially in the Premier League where they let everything go.
shareThis plus strikers would attack only maybe odd one may defend a corner or freekick that is all.
Lineker was a poacher it was all he did be in the right place at the right time he did nothing else a term people used to use was goal hanger.
Refs as you mentioned allowed a lot as well if you used todays standards half the players if not all for one team would be sent off.
He just walked around on the field doing nothing.
The guy's a piece of sh*t .
But no yellow cards. I'm assuming you're here because of what he said on TV.
shareHe never really said anything too objectionable on TV, it's on Twitter. But the fact he works for the BBC who are supposed to be impartial is where the issue lays.
shareI think the comparison is hyperbole, but I don't think it's worth firing him over. But you're probably right that the problem is with the BBC.
shareHe just needs to decide which is more important to him, being a sports pundit on the BBC or a political activist on Twitter.
shareThis isn't the first time, he constantly attacks people on Twitter who don't follow the party line.
Besides, he hasn't been fired. He'll most likely be back in a few weeks.
He's still a lazy piece of sh*t.
