MATCH of the Day host Gary Lineker has revealed he scored a hat-trick after romping just hours before kick-off.
The ex-England striker, 58, ignored club orders and had a quickie with future wife Michelle on the morning of a 1982 match for Leicester City.

They ended up beating Derby County 4-0.
Dad-of-four Lineker said: “Sex was genuinely banned the night before (a game) — but how are they going to check up?
“The only time I ignored that we did it on the morning of the game . . . so anyway, I scored a hat-trick.”
On his Behind Closed Doors podcast, Linker said he kept up the prematch romps for a month — but quit after failing to net another hat-trick.
In a recent interview he said that since splitting from first wife Michelle in 2006 and second wife Danielle Bux in 2016, he wasn’t that keen on dating.
He said: “I’ve spent my whole adult life married and it’s been great. I had two great marriages.”
“I go out with my mates, we have lovely dinners in the best restaurants, drink great wine. You know, we’re real foodies.”
Asked about rumours that he was a ‘massive shagger’, he said: “Despite crappy rumours I used to have to live with yonks ago, that thankfully have died down, that I was some kind of sexual predator, I’m unbelievably fussy.
“I’m the complete opposite. It’s a stupid and horrible thing to say in a way, but I’m not massively into sex.
“I quite like flirting a little bit. Now that’s all I do. But then after that – this is really being honest: it’s like hard work.
“I’ve had the odd one. But I’m straight right from the start. I say, ‘I don’t want a relationship; a nice dinner’s fine.”
