Lineker admitted he was eventually forced to mute ‘s***’ after football fans repeatedly responded to his posts with messages mentioning the incident. 

‘My little accident became public knowledge around 20 years after the event, about the same time as I went on Twitter, as it was then known,’ Lineker said.

‘Every single tweet I would put out, underneath would be, whatever I was talking about say “I’m going to see Joe Lycett this afternoon”, it’ll be ‘S*** on Joe Lycett’.

‘It’ll be multitudes of them all saying the same thing, whatever the subject, if I was talking about Manchester City it would be “s*** on Manchester City”.

‘Brilliantly witty of them all.

‘In the end they had this thing where you could mute words, so I muted s***, and I have really not seen any since, it actually works.’

The Match of the Day host previously revealed the incident had occurred after he had been unwell the night before the match.

Lineker explained he had not told anyone about his illness as he had been determined to play the match, but began cramping early in the second half.

The moment happened when Lineker stretched for the ball. He was taken off not long after

‘The ball goes out on their left hands side and I kind of did a lunge at it and as I did that I kind of relaxed,’ the TV presenter told the Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast.

‘And it’s just gone BOOF and I’ve gone “Oh my God”. And I’m sat there on the ground and it’s all there.

‘And I went “I’ve s*** myself”. I felt like crying. Thank God we had the dark blue shorts on and not the white ones.’ 

Lineker enjoyed an illustrious international career as he netted 48 times in 80 games for England, including scoring four times on England’s run to the semi-finals at Italia 90.

England topped a group that also contained the Netherlands and Egypt before they heartbreakingly crashed out on penalties to West Germany in the semi-final.
