GARY LINEKER has made a promise that he will present Match of The Day in his pants again – on one condition.
The presenter famously presented the show back in his underwear in 2016 after Leicester City won the league.
Lineker made the promise to do the show in just his undies if his hometown club won the league earlier that season – when Leicester started off as 5000/1 outsiders to take the title.
The Foxes ended up winning the league that year by a whopping 10 points ahead of their closest title rivals, Arsenal.
Lineker was speaking about the feat on his Match of The day podcast alongside Micah Richards and Alan Shearer.
The trio began by talking about how good Leicester were that season with Alan Shearer saying: “They were deadly that season, weren’t they?”

Lineker then said “I mean Jamie Vardy, that run he had…”
Richards then interjected by saying: “Is that when you came out presenting Match of the Day with your pants on?”
After Lineker explained that he did so after Leicester won the league, Richards asked if he would be doing it anytime soon if Leicester got promoted.
Lineker then made the vague promise: “If Leicester won the league again, I’ll do it.”

But with Lineker vaguely saying won the league, Shearer wondered if he meant the Championship title and said: “Even The Championship?”
Which led to Lineker reiterating that the promise only applied to if Leicester pulled off the miracle of winning the Premier League again.
A disappointed Richards said: “They’re not going to win the Premier League again are they?”
And Lineker quipped back: “Micah, do you want to see me in my pants in my sixties?”
Leicester have made a blistering start to the Championship season under Pep’s former assistant Enzo Maresca.
The club have 10 wins from their opening 11 and already have a 10 point lead on Ipswich, who sit in third outside of the promotion places.
So it looks like if Lineker was to make the promise apply to The Championship, it’s highly likely that viewers would see him in his undies again.
