As the presenter of Match of the Day, Lineker is renowned for his footballing insight and sharp dressing. He talks about wardrobe choices, being tempted to wear white trousers – and why he’d probably send that tweet again
. Here, he chats about his outfit choices over the years, Match of the Day wardrobe policies, that tweet and who is going to win the Premier league.I would never say that of myself. I’ve always been interested in clothes and fashion. I look at some pictures and I think: “What the hell were we thinking?” But I might even think that about [what I’m wearing today] in 20 years, if I’m still alive. Most footballers are into fashion, though. We’re a metrosexual lot.
They are young people who are on decent money and can afford to splash out. It’s always been the case that people would dress to care what they look like; footballers are vain. There was George Best, Bobby Moore. Now you have people like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is quite outlandish, Héctor Bellerín, James Maddison. It’s not what I would wear but I am 40 years older than some of these players. You have to think about that a little as you get older.
There’s no planning. We don’t have a WhatsApp group talking about the clothes that we’re going to wear for the show. Last week, Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy both wore exactly the same thing – off-white trousers with a black shirt. They looked like the same person, and I ribbed them about it. We don’t go: “Should someone get another shirt?”Ian Wright. He really cares and brings in two or three outfits. Micah and Jermaine are really into their clothes.
