PORTRAIT. Gary Lineker (62), the footballer who never got a yellow card and has now been suspended by the BBC | Foreign Football

But Lineker, the face of ‘Match Of The Day’ for 23 years, is not about to budge. The BBC seems to need him more than the other way around, because Lineker also has plenty of work and income outside broadcasting. Portrait of the George Clooney of football.
