    Jeff Stelling vows to go one step further than Gary Lineker in his pants if his beloved Hartlepool get to Championship

    JEFF STELLING has promised go one step further than Gary Lineker if his beloved Hartlepool get to the Championship.The departing host memorably presented Match of the Day in his PANTS after Leicester won the Prem in 2015-2016.Jeff Stelling is ready to outshine Gary Linker live on air but under one conditionStelling promised to strip down like Lineker if Hartlepool climb the EFLLineker vowed to present MOTD in his underwear if Leicester won the PremCredit: GettyBut with Hartlepool languishing down in 13th in the National League, fans will likely have to wait a long time for Stelling to mimic Lineker.Life-long Hartlepool fan and club president Stelling hasn’t stopped dreaming about the Pools’ ascent back into the EFL after suffering relegation from League Two in 2023.But stranger things have happened – remember Leicester winning the Premier League title at 5000-1 eight seasons ago?And all after narrowly escaping relegation 12 months earlier.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSFew believed Leicester could win a Prem before Liverpool and Lineker promised to do MOTD in his undies if his hometown club got over the line.The Foxes ended up winning the league that year by a whopping 10 points ahead of their closest title rivals, Arsenal.And Lineker made headlines when he was forced to grab his white briefs and present MOTD in front of millions.But that is nothing compared to the lengths talkSPORT host Stelling is prepared to go.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAsked whether he would emulate Lineker: “I would host talkSPORT breakfast without my pants in order for Hartlepool to get into the Championship.“League Two would be fine, never mind the Championship.”Mark Chapman refuses Match of the Day job share as Gary Lineker quits after 25 yearsMeanwhile, Lineker will leave MOTD at the end of the season after 25 years in the hot seat.The 63-year-old will also quit the BBC after anchoring the Corporation’s 2025/26 FA Cup coverage and the next World Cup.And just two weeks later Lineker’s newest project has been unveiled as he prepares to get involved in Baller League UK.The football tournament was launched in Germany earlier this year and includes the likes of Mats Hummels and Lukasz Podolski.Who could replace Gary Lineker as MOTD host?GARY LINEKER dropped the shock news that he is QUITTING Match of the Day.The popular presenter, 63, took over hosting duties on the flagship BBC programme from Des Lynam in 1999.But after more than 25 years in the studio hotseat, he has called time on his MOTD gig.But as part of a huge shake-up, the BBC is considering rotating the presenters on a weekly basis.So with Lineker vacating the chair, new names will step into his giant boots. But who could they be?MARK CHAPMANChapman, 51, is the obvious early favourite to follow on from Lineker as MOTD presenter.He already has the gig as MOTD2 host on a Sunday night plus landed the presenting job for the new BBC Champions League highlights show.ALEX SCOTTScott gets the nod from the Beeb bosses when Lineker is away.The former right-back, 40, is used to presenting the Saturday night show as well as live match coverage – plus ticks the box as a former England international.GABBY LOGANLike Scott, Logan, 51, is one of the understudies to step in when Lineker is not available.She has done most gigs since joining the BBC in 2007, including Olympics, Sports Personality of the Year and Final Score.MICAH RICHARDSLineker’s top pick to replace him is exuberant former Man City defender Richards.The departing host told his close pal, 36, on their Stick to Football podcast: “I’d love to see you take over Micah, I think you’d be brilliant in the chair.”JASON MOHAMMADMohammad could earn the “promotion” from Final Score to Match of the Day.The 51-year-old Welshman – who took over from Logan in 2013 – is one of the BBC’s top earners already and is more senior than fellow Final Score and BBC Sport broadcaster Kelly Somers, who could in theory become the main live host for the afternoon slot.JEFF STELLINGHe couldn’t, could he? While Lineker has been the face of Saturday night TV for football fans for years, the face of the afternoons was Stelling in his role as Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday presenter.He would bring plenty of on-screen charisma, wit and legendary TV expertise – but at nearly 70 and currently with talkSPORT, the Hartlepool fan would not be a cheap or long-term appointment.

    Transfer recommendations for Gameweek 13: Joao Pedro among tempting one-week punts

    DREAM TEAM managers are spoiled for choice ahead of Gameweek 13 with all 20 Premier League clubs set to play twice.With so many options available to you, allow us to present some transfer recommendations bursting with potential.Before we get into the merits of specific players, it’s worth flagging that the Gameweek 13 deadline falls at 6:30pm on Friday – that’s earlier than usual so don’t get caught out!Gaffers are spoiled for choice this weekCredit: Dream TeamJoao Pedro (£4.1m)A rare double Gameweek across the board gives Dream Team bosses every reason to back a Brighton player and who better than their in-form No9?Pedro averages 8.7 points-per-game this season, a rate only bettered by Erling Haaland (£8.6m) and Mohamed Salah (£7.4m) among forwards.He’s registered six goal involvements in six games and his return from injury has yielded 25 points in two outings.The Seagulls will host Southampton on Friday (Saints have the worst away record in the top flight) before a trip to Fulham in the week.Matheus Cunha (£4.8m)A man in formCredit: GettyIf Pedro doesn’t float your boat then how about a midlands-based Brazilian forward instead?Most read in FootballCunha banked 20 points via two excellent goals at Fulham last weekend and is now Dream Team’s most in-form player.Wolves’ talisman has seven goals and three assists to his name but that only tells half the story.He ranks in the top three in his position for big chances created and bonus points; an impressive feat without European commitments to bolster his schedule.Cunha will be unleashed upon Bournemouth and Everton in Gameweek 13.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOWJurrien Timber (£3.7m) and/or Riccardo Calafiori (£3.9m)Timber appears affordable ahead of Gameweek 13Credit: GettyGabriel (£4.8m) and William Saliba (£5m) are Arsenal’s top defenders in terms of total points but the full-backs offer more affordable routes into the Gunners’ defence.With Ben White (£4.1m) expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks, Timber is likely to start at right-back for the foreseeable future.The Dutchman banked 16 points in Gameweek 12 thanks to an assist and three points against Sporting CP in Lisbon.Calafiori’s minutes aren’t quite as assured but he’s also coming off the back of a healthy double-digit haul.More broadly, Arsenal’s fixtures appear relatively favourable from now until the new year.Fraser Forster (£1.8m)Vicario’s injury presents an opportunity for ForsterCredit: GettyTottenham’s 36-year-old veteran is no Caoimhin Kelleher (£2.6m) in the world of the reserve goalkeepers but he has to be considered a tempting option purely because of his bargain price.Guglielmo Vicario (£3.1m) faces several weeks on the sidelines having undergone surgery on his ankle and so Forster, who has made three appearances already this term, will surely start throughout the busy festive period.READ MORE SUN STORIESSpurs clean sheets aren’t guaranteed by any means but at £1.8m Forster is a low-cost punt who frees up budget to invest elsewhere.The North London side face Fulham and Bournemouth in Gameweek 13.BetMGM sign up offerBetMGM: Get £40 in free bets — HERE**New cust only. 7 days to opt in by placing a £10 qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater to receive 4x Free Bets: 1 x £10 horse racing, 1 x £10 Bet Builder, 1 x £10 Acca and 1 x £10 football. 7 day expiry.
