Speaking at a live recording of the podcast alongside Shearer and former West Ham manager David Moyes, the 64-year-old expressed his dream guest list.
Lineker jokingly said at first,
“Micah Richards, but he doesn’t show up sometimes.”
Then he revealed,
“We’ve managed to get a few good guests but someone like Mo Salah. Thinking of the Premier League – Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane just to name but a few. Jude Bellingham would be amazing, someone like that. Micah has promised us he’s going to get him.”
The retired forward then went on to reveal the upcoming guest in the coming days and stated,
“We’re doing [an episode with Morgan [Rogers] soon because we’re not just about the big boys on our podcast, we like to cover everybody which is fun.”
Then he explained the importance of bringing array of active players and said,
“We had Longstaff on earlier this season, players from different clubs is a nice thing to get as well as superstars.
Getting footballers’ angles on other footballers works and we understand how things do work and I think we make that interesting, as well as bringing out the fun side of things if we can.
We’re all serious at times but we like to poke fun at ourselves and enjoy ourselves.”
