Summary

Due to scheduling issues we are unable to bring you a new episode this week so instead we have delved into the archives to bring you a Classic Blank episode with Gary Lineker. Gary is in the new this week after being suspended by Match of the Day for refusing to apologise for tweeting his political views. Gary spoke to us way back in 2018 about his twitter usage and you can hear him talk about that at 50:05 in this episode. Gary Lineker is a former professional footballer and current sports broadcaster. He holds England's record for goals in FIFA World Cup finals, with 10 scored and is England's third highest top scorer. His media career began with the BBC, where he still presents the flagship football programme Match of the Day since the late 1990s. He has also worked for Al Jazeera Sports, Eredivisie Live, NBC Sports Network and currently hosts BT Sport's coverage of the UEFA Champions League. Gary very kindly invited Giles and Jim to his house in South West London back in 2018 for a cuppa and a chat about all things BLANK. We talked about making big decisions at a young age and the feeling of getting to a point where you're confident in what you do. Gary also talked openly about those moments off the field, including when his first son George was diagnosed with leukaemia as a child, had affected him and how football helped him through that time. With Christmas just around the corner, Giles and Gary share some cooking tips while Jim ponders what a waterbath is. @blankpod @eliistender @jimdalycomedy @garylineker [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
