Gary Lineker reflects on what Match of the Day means to him in a resurfaced clip.
The former footballer will step down from presenting the show at the end of the 2024/25 season, the BBC announced on Tuesday (12 November).
Speaking about his Match of the Day presenting job back in August, Lineker said: “It’s been a big part of my life, I watched it as a kid.
“It’s been an absolute privilege to present it for 25 years.”
The former England striker will continue to present live football coverage through the 2026 Fifa World Cup. He will also host BBC Sport’s coverage of the FA Cup in the 2025/26 season, 35 years on from lifting the trophy as a player.
