Bleh, Lineker is trying to pin himself to a new mast now that Leicester are back to being irrelevant. He can bloody do one as far as I'm concerned.
Seriously? He's always said he's a Leicester fan - his boyhood club, his family's club, but he'll always have a soft spot for his other former clubs, Everton, us, Barca, er... Grampus Eight. It's not that hard to understand.

So, wait. If Poch goes to Juve, does that mean Arsenal take our CL spot next year?

Thats not true, he never mentioned Leicester properly until about christmas the year they won. Obviously everyone knows he Leicester anyway but he went from being embarrassed about it to never letting anyone forget overnight

Wow I'm amazed Lineker is getting stick in here. Just because he played for us for 3 years you expect him to put us before his boyhood, hometown club where he was from a boy? I think he's a good pundit and always speaks well of Spurs. The year Leicester won it he said he wanted them to win the Prem and us the FA Cup. Give the guy a break.

Like every other football fan ever then?

The hypocrisy in this thread is strong!

He’s done the Walker’s ads for years, which were founded in Leicester, with several explicit references to the city. He’s been granted the Freedom of Leicester by parliament decree for nearly 20 years. The idea that he’s some Leicester glory hunter is comical

When they were in a bit of financial trouble a few years ago he was at the forefront of trying to get them out of it & as far as I'm aware he's never made a secret that Leicester was his club as a boy & he still supports them. Unlike Cundy though, he does give us some support as an ex-player should.
