‘Clever, understated class’: Guardian readers recall their Gary Lineker highlights

Hillsborough, handball and an inexplicable love for Mario Balotelli. How some of our readers will remember the outgoing Match of the Day host

I will be forever grateful for Lineker's concise but considered remarks on Match of the Day on April 30th 2016, following the exoneration of Liverpool fans that week by the second set of Hillsborough inquests. He said: Well, whatever happens on Sunday, nothing comes close to the victory achieved by the Hillsborough families this week. We'll leave you with the words of the BBC's Peter Jones from the day of the tragedy. After 27 years, the truth is out."
