ABOUT US

MEET THE TEAM

Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards are three of the most iconic names in English football and now, three of the most entertaining voices in the game. Between them, they've won Golden Boots, Premier League titles, and international honours, as well as making their mark at clubs like Barcelona, Newcastle and Man City.

They’re great friends off the pitch too, and their chemistry brings a unique mix of sharp analysis, big laughs and brilliant stories on football and more.

GARY LINEKER

Gary Lineker won the World Cup Golden Boot in 1986 and is the only player to have been the top goalscorer in England with three different clubs: Leicester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur. He also spent three years playing for Barcelona, where he won the European Cup Winners’ Cup. Following his retirement he’s had a stellar broadcasting career, hosting the UK’s flagship football show Match of the Day for more than 25 years.

GARY LINEKER

ALAN SHEARER

Alan Shearer is the Premier League record goalscorer, netting 260 times, and won the title with Blackburn in 1995. He is better known for his time at hometown club Newcastle though, where he spent 10 years and played more than 300 times for the club. Alan won the Golden Boot at Euro 1996 and went on to captain the national team 34 times.

MICAH RICHARDS

Micah Richards burst onto the scene for Man City at 17-years-old and went on to win the Premier League and FA Cup. He became City's youngest ever captain just a year later, and also made his debut for England at just 18. Micah also represented Great Britain at the Olympics in London in 2012, starting every game.
