After Dinner Speakers: Gary Lineker, M People, Michael Crawford

Gary Lineker has been a great ambassador for Walkers Crisps over the years. He has dressed up as a nun, a punk rocker, a headmistress, a menacing devil and Mr Universe plotting mischief against boy wonder Michael Owen. But before he crisps launched him into every household he was a soccer star, playing for England 80 times and scoring 48 goals, one less than Bobby Charltons all time record. He played club football for Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and Grampus Eight until his retirement in 1994. Since 1995 he has had continued success as a TV presenter on Football Focus and most notably on Match of the Day. He has shown a witty side as team captain on They Think its All Over with Nick Hancock, Jonathan Ross and David Gower. More recently he is heading a consortium to take over Leicester Football Club.
