Gary Lineker on migrant row: People overreacted to my tweet but it turned into a victory for good
When I find Gary Lineker, nestled in a plump armchair in the back corner of a Soho basement, he looks remarkably fit, almost weightless. The footballer turned celebrated BBC Sport presenter has endured a rumbustious few weeks. Today, he is dapper in a mufti wardrobe of a stone grey knitted polo shirt and navy slacks, while those signature black-framed glasses perch on noticeably glassy skin. “It’s not too bad for an old person,” he quips, to my compliment. Lineker, it seems, has settled back into life off the front pages.
