Novelty bets: What colour pants will Lineker wear on Match of the Day?

Robbie Purves | August 11, 2016

Last December, as Leicester City stood top of the Premier League, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker proclaimed he would disrobe and present the first episode of the next season’s series in nothing but his pants.

As we all know, Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes triumphed and lifted the league trophy. Now, the nation awaits his choice of undies.

YES! If Leicester win the @premierleague I’ll do the first MOTD of next season in just my undies.

Blue is Coral’s odds-on favourite at 4/6 as it is the colour of Leicester’s home strip.

Lineker goes for gold?

However, a clever outside bet could be gold, signifying the high-flying Foxes’ first place finish and is 16/1 to be Lineker’s choice. Alternatively, he could opt for the classic, clean cut tighty-whiteys that other big names in football like David Beckham and Fredrik Ljungberg have modelled.

If these odds take your fancy, the market can be found here on what colour pants Lineker will wear.
