Gary Lineker has proved he was wearing boxer shorts on Match of the Day

Gary Lineker followed through with his promise to present Match of the Day in his boxers if Leicester City won the league last season...

Far from bottling it, the man stood and sat there in his skivvies for the first two games of this season's inaugural Match of the Day before finally covering his shame after one too many gleeful leers from Ian Wright and Alan Shearer. But some still weren't satisfied. Many said that he was actually wearing football shorts rather than boxer shorts. Lineker, 56, has taken to his Instagram today to finally put all of the doubters in their place and confirmed that he stayed true to his word. Ignore the banana. Or don't. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/766631599064621056 https://www.instagram.com/p/BJSwYMkgiuP/ Do you believe him?

Not that it's necessarily a good thing. https://twitter.com/BradW1399/status/766638017083797504 Never underestimate the ability of Twitter to reuse a template long beyond the point at which it has been done to death.
