    Gary Lineker QUITS BBC and will not front its 2026 World Cup coverage after explosive anti-Semitism row

    GARY Lineker will today announce he is leaving the BBC and will not front the 2026 World Cup following an antisemitism row.The former Leicester City and England striker is bowing out by mutual agreement after 26 years with his final Match of the Day this Sunday.Gary Lineker will announce he is leaving the BBCCredit: SplashA source said: ‘It is an absolutely heart-breaking end to what has been an extraordinary broadcasting career’Credit: GettyA source told The Sun: “It is a heartbreaking end to an extraordinary broadcasting career.”Gary agreed to leave the BBC for good after meeting bosses last week — with a source saying he realised his position was untenable.The Match of the Day host’s early departure comes five days after he apologised for sharing a controversial post which saw him accused of antisemitism.Ex-England striker Gary, 64, faced a huge backlash after he reposted a video which criticised Zionism and included an illustration of a rat.READ MORE ON GARY LINEKERHe had been due to host the BBC’s coverage of the 2026 World Cup but will instead bow out this Sunday.The source said: “Gary acknowledged his position at the BBC, anchoring the most prestigious ­tournament in world football, was untenable, and he will not be hosting the World Cup.“He offered to step down at the end of the season, and did not want the BBC — an organisation he still holds in the highest of esteem — dragged into any further controversy.“He remains absolutely devastated by the recent turn of events and is deeply regretful about how his post was interpreted. His last Match of the Day will air on Sunday now and he won’t be back.”Most read in FootballThe ex-Tottenham, Everton and Leicester City striker steps back after 26 years with the broadcaster, where he was its highest-paid ­presenter on £1.35million a year.His final years as MOTD host have been marred by his outspoken views and fallouts with bosses.He is now likely to focus on his successful Goalhanger Podcasts business.Gary Lineker destroys Wayne Rooney’s managerial career live on BBC leaving pundits speechlessAnd those close to the star said his exit means he will be able to speak more freely.They added: “Gary remains passionate about speaking out over perceived injustices in the world, and will continue to call out things that he believes to be wrong.“He will be able to speak without the shackles of the non-partisan BBC, and has already had a lot of TV offers to mull over.“And, of course, he will be cheering on England like any other fan this summer.”Last Tuesday Gary deleted an Instagram story post from the group Palestine Lobby after he had shared it with his 1.2million followers.The re-post led to widespread calls for the BBC to drop Gary and the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism said it was submitting a complaint to the corporation.HATE ROW APOLOGYIn a statement that day Gary’s agent said: “Whilst viewing and reposting a video, Gary did not notice a rodent emoticon added by the author of the post.“Although if he had, he would not have made any connection. The repost has been removed.”On Wednesday Gary apologised and said: “On Instagram I reposted material which I have since learned contained offensive references.“I very much regret these references. I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic. It goes against everything I believe in.“The post was removed as soon as I became aware of the issue.The presenter will confirm his last Match of The Day will be on SundayCredit: GettyA young Gary presenting Match of the Day in 1999Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd“Whilst I strongly believe in the importance of speaking out on humanitarian issues, including the tragedy unfolding in Gaza, I also know that how we do so matters. “I take full responsibility for this mistake. That image does not reflect my views.”BBC Director General Tim Davie addressed the backlash the same day, saying: “The BBC’s ­reputation is held by everyone and when someone makes a mistake, it costs us.“And I think we absolutely need people to be the exemplars of BBC values and follow our social media policies, simple as that.”Last October The Sun revealed that Gary would quit Match of the Day at the end of this season — but anchor the BBC’s 2025/26 FA Cup coverage and the World Cup.He previously clashed with bosses for pushing the BBC’s impartiality rules but has staunchly defended using social media to speak out.The BBC’s ­reputation is held by everyone and when someone makes a mistake, it costs us.BBC boss Tim DavieLast month he was asked by the BBC’s Amol Rajan whether it was within his remit to give a view on Middle East politics.Gary said: “I’m sorry. It’s more important than the BBC. What’s going on there (Gaza) is the mass murder of thousands of children — probably something that we should have a little opinion on.”In 2023 he was temporarily removed from MOTD after likening the then-Tory government’s asylum policy to rhetoric of Nazi Germany.His co-presenters Alan Shearer and Ian Wright then boycotted the show and it went ahead without post-match analysis.The former England captain presenting the BBC’s World Cup 2002 coverageCredit: BBCGary said of his colleagues’ support: “I had a tear in my eye. It just moved me, it was beautiful. It’s one thing saying that in a moment, but then actually to carry that through, they didn’t need to do that.”Six months later the BBC published rules for its presenters which said they would be “allowed to express views on issues and policies but stop short of political campaigning”.Gary responded by saying the rules were “all very sensible.”He has previously said he believes the BBC wanted him to leave MOTD when he was negotiating a new contract last year.Gary said then: “I think it was their preference that I didn’t do it for one more year, so they could bring in new people.”Read More on The SunMark Chapman, Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan take over next season.Gary’s replacement as World Cup host is expected to be announced shortly.Gary stripped down to his boxers live on air when Leicester won the Premier League in 2016Credit: PA:Press AssociationBBC boss Tim Davie said: ‘I think we absolutely need people to be the exemplars of BBC values and follow our social media policies, simple as that’Credit: GettyFootie fun ‘N’ Foxes’ pantsBy Andy Robinson GARY Lineker’s 26 years at the BBC have seen him become one of our most popular footie presenters.He began as a pundit on Radio 5 Live before replacing Des Lynam on Match of the Day.He kicked off in 1999 saying: “Eh, tell you what. Football’s back. Any good? Have I got the job?”Gary’s most memorable moment came after he vowed to host in “just his undies” if his former side Leicester City won the Premier League.He stayed true to his word after the Foxes’ fairytale triumph in 2015-16 — though he ranked appearing in his boxers his “least favourite” MOTD moment.His favourite was the last day of Leicester’s title season.Gary also presented their FA Cup triumph in 2021, saying: “They are two things I thought I would never witness in my lifetime. They were my special ones.”In 2019 fans were left laughing when he mocked bald pundits Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy’s ­analysis of a “hair-raising” start to the season.Gary, Dion Dublin and Ian Wright also raised a smile by mimicking Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette’s scream picked up by microphones after he was fouled in a match during crowdless Covid.In 2023 Gary struggled to keep a straight face as pranksters played sex sounds from a phone hidden in the BBC studio.He has also presented for Al Jazeera, NBC and BT Sport who may seek his services once again.

    I became Tottenham legend after winning them their last European trophy – then did everything wrong after that

    TONY PARKS’ penalty save against Anderlecht is an iconic Tottenham image.Plunging to his right and haring off around White Hart Lane with both arms raised to be engulfed by Spurs team-mates.Tony Parks is a Tottenham legend for his heroics in the 1984 European CupCredit: GettyThe keeper made two penalty saves as Spurs went on to beat AnderlechtCredit: GettyYet while he will always be associated with the 1984 Uefa Cup final shootout, he admits it was too much to soon.Parks was just 21 when he denied Arnor Gudjohnsen – father of future Chelsea, Bolton and Spurs attacker Eidur – to win Tottenham’s third European trophy for Keith Burkinshaw’s side.Their fourth can arrive 41 years on if Ange Postecoglou’s side manage to beat Manchester United in Bilbao on Wednesday.Yet even if it goes to penalties again and Gugliemo Vicario repeats Parks’ heroics, it is hard to see it having the same impact.READ MORE ON TOTTENHAMParks – only in the team with Ray Clemence deemed unfit – recalled: “I’d saved the first penalty, from Morten Olsen, and gone left on them all.”Danny Thomas had the chance to win it for us but he missed. He was gutted but the whole crowd started singing his name. I’d never seen that before.”When Gudjohnsen stepped up, I thought I had to do something different and dive the other way.”He didn’t hit it very well, I made the save, I got up and just started running.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK”I knew my mum and dad were in the crowd and I ran towards where they were. If the gates had been open, I’d have been at Seven Sisters 20 minutes later.”It should have been lift-off for Parks’ career. Instead, it was a turning point for all the wrong reasons.How Europa League final will be decided – four key Man Utd vs Tottenham tactical battlesParks told The Spurs Show podcast: “The drama of it was amazing.  I remember watching it back.”But, for me, it was too much, too early. I thought that was it, that it was going to happen every year. “That’s kind of how you think when you’re a kid, isn’t it?  But I played the rebel a little bit.  “I did everything wrong that I could do wrong.”Not that he could be blamed initially. Parks added: “Every pub I walked in for about six weeks was free beer.”Honestly, I’d walk into any place and whatever I wanted was free.”I remember going out for a meal. Rod Stewart was in the restaurant and apparently thought I’d only saved one penalty; his friends said it was two.Parks made two saves against Anderlecht in the shootout at White Hart LaneCredit: News Group Newspapers Ltd”So the waiter came over and said, ‘I’d like to know how many penalties you saved’. “I said, ‘Two’ and he said, ‘Would you like a bottle of wine from Rod Stewart?’”It was all amazing. But if you’re weak in the head, like I was, they tip you over the edge.”You have to be stronger than that to be a professional athlete.”Instead, I got arrested for drinking and driving, came back for pre-season with an injury.”Ray made sure that when he came back, he was 100 per cent fit and focused, ready to go — while I’d lived the life of a kid.”We’d be in the pub or down the snooker hall by 12. It was ‘win or lose, on the booze; if we draw, we’ll have some more’. It was crazy.Tony ParksParks stayed on Spurs’ books for another four seasons but only made 19 more appearances before going to Brentford.His career took him to a total of 14 clubs including West Ham and Falkirk in Scotland. But he concedes it was never quite the same.Parks recalled: “As a youth-team player getting into the first team, my contract was up at the end of that season.”I actually didn’t get a new contract until after the game, so the money I was on wasn’t great.”But if you’re in the first team, you’re getting appearance money, you’re getting bonuses and at 21 that was money to blow your brains out really. “Nowadays players get to the training ground at 7am and are still there at 4pm or 5pm.’I’d dive head first through a brick wall for him’ – Ange Postecoglou’s rallying speech reduces Tottenham fans to tears”But we’d be in the pub or down the snooker hall by 12.  It was ‘win or lose, on the booze; if we draw, we’ll have some more’. It was absolutely crazy.”It didn’t matter what age you were, it was, ‘You’re coming’. If Steve Perryman tells you you’re coming, you’re coming.”Keith was a brilliant manager who gave young players a chance and if he had stayed it may have been different for me.”But he’d had a big fall-out with the chairman, Irving Scholar, and was going at the end of the season.”I didn’t really like working for David Pleat or Terry Venables after that. It wasn’t their fault — it was all my fault.”Venables eventually got rid of me.  It’s not until you leave a club like Tottenham you realise, ‘S*** — what have I done?’”I get called a legend but I don’t see that, I really don’t.”For me, goalkeeping legends of the football club are Pat Jennings and Ray Clemence. They’re my idols, my Tottenham legends.”Looking back to the final, it was a magical night, brilliant.”When we got the trophy, a  Uefa guy gave me a replica of the trophy. I thought it was the man-of-the-match prize and put it in my bag in the dressing room.”But Irving Scholar came in, sat in a wheelchair as he’d broken his leg. No one wanted him there, he was firing our boss.Read More on The Sun”But he wanted to know where the trophy was and took it out of my bag – that was the replica the club could keep!”We stayed for hours celebrating and stood on the roof next to the car park. There were still thousands of fans there waiting for us. I will never forget that.” More
