Gary Lineker’s party-loving brother Wayne ‘looking forward to standing in for England legend’ on Match of the Day

Lineker was axed by BBC chiefs after comparing the Government’s language around its small boats crackdown to that of 1930s Germany.

The former England and Leicester star has refused to back down.

And fellow presenters Alan Shearer and Ian Wright then pulled out of tonight’s MOTD broadcast.

It will instead go out with no host or post-match analysis after potential stand-ins ruled themselves out of the running.

But one man has jokingly volunteered to put himself forward.

Lineker’s brother Wayne is known for his wild partying ways and owns numerous bars and clubs in Spain.

And in 2021 he won over hearts and minds by appearing on Celebs Go Dating.

As a result, Wayne is no stranger to the limelight.

And he has now put himself forward to replace his brother on Match of the Day.

Posing a mock-up of him in the show’s main chair, with brother Gary working a bar in Spain, Wayne said: “This meme is doing the rounds right now.

“I knew one day he would come to the ocean. But I feel obliged to just say that I’m in full support of Gary.

“Also I look forward to standing in for him tonight on Match of the Day.”
