Lineker was a sporting prodigy. He made about 50 career centuries in snooker, and almost had a maximum as well. Think his top break was 140. He was also a top class cricketer, and people thought he could have played for England. But he chose football

You probably know that he practiced often with the great WT (Willie Thorne) when he played for Leicester City. He's not the only sportsman to be good at other sports though, it just wasn't really publicised that much. Steve and Mike Gatting played both Football and Cricket to a good standard as well as table tennis. Mike chose cricket and Steve football.

He used to play regularly with Willie Thorne in the 80's and 90's 😁 Remember seeing pictures of them together in Willie's club in Leicester when I played there.

That was the joke. Lawrenson was a complete amateur, whereas Lineker had made about fifty century breaks 😆He practised with Willie Thorne so was very good.

Learnt a lot from the professional Willie Thorne, and his cricket abilities are apparently quite good too. Still, Gary's not done too bad money-wise from his second career, commentating.
