GARY LINEKER insists he won’t present Match of the Day in his underwear if Leicester win the Championship.
The England legend famously promised to present the football highlights show in his pants if his former club won the Premier League back in 2016.
And, on the opening day of the 2016-17 campaign, he did just that, wearing only a pair of Leicester-branded white boxers while introducing the programme.
The Foxes have, of course, since been relegated.
But now, with Enzo Maresca’s side running away with the Championship this season, fans are wondering if Lineker is preparing to strip down again.
Although one cheeky fan suggested an even more risque stunt.
In a Q+A for the Stick to Football podcast, one fan asked: “If Leicester win the Championship, will you present MOTD in just a mankini?”
Lineker, however, was quick to dismiss the idea, responding: “No. No I wouldn’t inflict that on anyone.
“It’s getting almost 10 years on since then (presenting in his boxers).
“I’m getting an old man now, that would be a grisly sight.”

Leicester sit at the top of the Championship table, six points clear of second-placed Leeds United.
They are on track to earn automatic promotion to the Premier League, with 12 games remaining this season.
The Foxes were relegated from England’s top tier at the end of the 2022-23 campaign after finishing 18th, two points behind Everton.
Leeds and Southampton also suffered the drop.
However, all three teams could return to the Premier League this season.
With Leicester and Leeds currently occupying the automatic promotion spots, Southampton are in play-off contention.
