It couldn’t have been better timed – on the day Fifa re-elected Sepp Blatter as president, Gary Lineker was hosting Have I Got News For You.

Well, it could have been slightly better timed – the show was filmed yesterday so they could only talk about the vote itself. That didn’t mean they couldn’t talk about Fifa though.

Not only was Lineker presenting the show, but John Motson introduced him. Anyone would think it was a big weekend of football.

Never mind that, though. What about Lineker’s hosting skills?

Okay, fair enough.

One of the highlights was Lineker’s reading glasses.

Those are proper hipster cans, Gary.

The thing was, some people found them a tad annoying.

Generally, though, Lineker was a hit.

It was possibly the greatest move into the mainstream from a footballer since Dion Dublin hosted Homes Under The Hammer.

Mostly though, people just thought he looked really, really good.

Well, most people thought that.
