Lineker is gutted when Micah Richards is forced to sell one of his, Shearer and Kane
GARY LINEKER was left fuming “you absolute w****r” after Micah Richards was forced to sell one of his own, Alan Shearer or Harry Kane.
The former England striker was pitted against friend and ex-Newcastle striker Shearer, as well as Bayern Munich star and Three Lions captain Kane.

The hitmen are among the best strikers to ever play for their country.
Lineker scored 48 goals in 80 games for England between 1984 and 1992.
While Shearer scored 30 times in 63 games between 1992 and 2000.
Kane boasts an even better record than his predecessors, scoring 62 times in 89 games after his debut in 2015.
And the superstars faced off in the latest episode of The rest is football podcast.
Lineker and Shearer watched as fellow presenter Micah Richards was forced to choose which of them to sell, which to subsidize and which to buy.
Richards revealed that he would subsidize Kane and buy Shearer, leaving Lineker in the unfortunate position of being the one to sell.
But this led to a hilarious response from Lineker, who was unhappy with the outcome.

Richards said: “Because I’ve never seen Gaz play, we’re selling Gaz.
‘Goodbye, all those records you broke, it’s a distant memory, it’s history.

“Let’s go to the modern players, Kane, a more versatile, well-rounded, beautiful striker.
“Nice technique too, but I’m going to put him on the bench.
“Alan Shearer, the Geordie boys, we’re buying him!”
Shearer agreed: “You know class when you see class!”
But Lineker dismissed Richards, saying: “You are absolutely w****r!”
Richards replied: “Are you okay, Gaz?”
Lineker fired back with a vow: ‘I’m not talking to you! If you saw me play, you would buy me!”
