💨 Abstract

Gary Lineker, 64, bid an emotional farewell to "Match of the Day" after 26 years, following a BBC decision to axe him over social media controversies. In his final show, he thanked his co-workers and was presented with a golden boot. Lineker's broadcast career included a temporary suspension in 2023 over comments criticizing the government's asylum policy. He also shared a deceitful post on Instagram which resulted him leaving the BBC early.
