Paul Ross, talkSPORT

Superb ... a brilliant, insightful read from the first page to the last.

Daniel Taylor

I have full admiration for Gary's career, both as a goal-scoring footballer and tv front man presenter... Neither role is easy and simple.

Bob Wilson OBE

Gary figured out the secret of goalscoring – where to move, when, and what to do when he got there. Few have grasped it so well.

Alan Smith

Chris Evans has done the hard yards on Lineker's football career, talking to former team-mates, reporters and several football managers, and taking us in some detail through long-forgotten games, a hat-trick here, a goalless defeat there, but faithfully detailing the life of a hard-working footballer at the highest level.

Roger Alton, The Times

A detailed and well-written biography about the fastest brain in the box.
