Gary Lineker says sorry! 🎙️ The former England striker, now a popular TV host, finally apologised to Frank Lampard after a cheeky comment about his hair went viral. The incident dates back to BBC’s Euro 2024 coverage, when Lineker made a light-hearted joke about fans seeing the backs of their heads, implying Lampard’s thinning hair was visible. 😬
Fast forward two years, and with the World Cup action heating up, Lineker invited Frank Lampard onto his “Rest is Football” podcast to clear the air. “It’s taken me two years to do it,” Lineker confessed, acknowledging the viral moment. Lampard, now Coventry City manager and former Chelsea legend, was a good sport about it. He jested about sitting between Joe Cole and Alan Shearer on the show as another version of an apology. 😂
Lineker, reflecting on the incident, admitted he felt bad after seeing it go viral on social media. The two have since patched things up, with Lineker even reaching out to Lampard after Coventry’s setback in the Championship play-offs. Now, they’re both busy analysing World Cup 2026 excitement. 🌍⚽
