Paul Gascoigne has been no stranger to the odd headline in his time, and his comments about Gary Lineker should guarantee a few more.

Gazza has named Lineker in an all-time XI of former teammates as part of Sky Sports' Fantasy Football Club - but when he elaborated on his decision to pick the Match of the Day host, things became a little bizarre. Quoted in the Daily Mail, Gazza praises the striker's goal scoring abilities before describing how Lineker's body was a sight to behold. 4 Jul 1990: Klaus Augenthaler (left) of West Germany tackles Paul Gascoigne (right) of England during the World Cup semi-final at the Delle Alpi Stadium in Turin, Italy. West Germany won the match 4-3 on penalties. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/Allsport "You know what I like about him? His body. What a lovely body," Gascoigne explained. "Unbelievable, it was so smooth I fancied him. Honestly I really did. I used to see him getting a massage after the game and I thought 'wow', he's beautiful." We're sure Gary's very flattered.
