An Evening with Gary Lineker
Programmed to celebrate our Football: Designing the Beautiful Game exhibition, Design Museum Director Tim Marlow discusses the illustrious career of one of the biggest names in football, Gary Lineker.
Hosted in partnership with 'The Wick', we are pleased to present an exclusive evening in conversation with one of football’s most influential players, Gary Lineker. Regarded as one of the world’s best strikers, Lineker is an institution of international football. As the longest-running 'Match of the Day' commentator, and as the host of the UK’s televised World Cup coverage since 1998, he is for many the face of football, and his post-match critiques have inducted a generation of fans into the sport.
Reflecting on a 44-year career including many of the highs and lows of British football, that has seen changes in regulation, new grounds, emerging stars, club clashes, tournaments and trophies, they will discuss why football holds such a singular position within our collective cultural consciousness.
Guests will have an opportunity to pose their questions to Lineker directly during an audience Q&A, and there will be a chance to speak to other guests and football figureheads in our post-match bar.
Special Guest
As a former professional footballer, Lineker has played for Leicester, Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and Japan’s Nagoya Grampus. As an England team striker, he maintains a record as third-highest scorer, receiving a golden boot in 1986, and he continues to hold FIFA’s record for England team golds. He is one of football commentary’s most familiar faces, having presented 'Match of the Day' since the late 1990s, having also provided international football coverage for BT sport, Al Jazeera Sport and NBC Sports.
