Gary Lineker’s embarrassing London Underground moment which left passengers struggling to hold back from laughing

Gary Lineker was left red-faced after fellow Match of the Day host Alan Shearer ribbed him for an embarrassing moment on the London Underground. The revelation was made on podcast The Rest Is Football, featuring the aforementioned duo and ex-England defender Micah Richards.
