Gary Lineker wasn't the guy doing thirty-yard screamers or dazzling five defenders with fancy footwork, but inside the box, he was absolute magic. He just knew where the ball was going to drop before anyone else even reacted. He’d hang on the shoulder of the last defender, make a sharp little run, and bang—a simple one-touch tap-in that looked dead easy, even though his movement to get there was world-class. To score over 300 goals playing like an absolute goal-snatcher, all while never getting booked a single time in his whole career? Absolute proper legend.

‘Italia 90 is the one thing I look back on and think ‘If only’, because we would have had a real chance in the final – winning a World Cup is immortality, it’s forever’ Gary Lineker said to FFT about the biggest regret. England had a real shot at winning the trophy. Argentina was exhausted and beatable. This loss, in that fashion, was exceptionally hard to swallow.

Best quotes

“Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.”

“That was the biggest disappointment. You were so close, you almost had your hands on the trophy, because I think we would have had a real chance in the final, we were a really good side. But we'll never know. It's the one thing I often look back on and think, 'If only', because winning a World Cup is football immortality. It's forever.”

Cookies & tracking

Yes — Ola Mayor uses cookies and local storage. Here is every one of them, and what it is for.

A cookie, set by us. om_session — remembers that you passed the preview password so you are not asked on every page. Set for 30 days, and readable only by the server (HttpOnly).

Local storage, set by us. Kept on your device and never sent anywhere: your sign-in (om_auth), saved clips (om_saves), players you follow (om_follows), language (om_lang), display mode (om_theme), your preferences (om_prefs), and an anonymous key so a report is not counted twice (om_anon).

Third party, and only if you tap it. A post from X shows as a still image. Tapping it loads X's own player — so the video plays here and the creator is credited with the view — and X then sets its own cookies, which we do not control. Do not tap it and nothing is ever requested from X. YouTube clips use youtube-nocookie.com and load only when you press play.

What we do not do: advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or selling your data. To clear everything we store, clear this site's data in your browser.
