Lineker
like Messi played for Barcelona during his successful career, spending
three seasons at the Nou Camp and scoring 42 league goals.
But
the Englishmen's achievements at the Catalan club are dwarfed by Messi,
who has scored more than any other Barcelona player, netting 269 goals
in La Liga alone.
Lineker does however hold the advantage over the Argentine in terms of World Cup goals, with 10 to Messi's five.
The 55-year-old presenter ended his six-year marriage with Danielle Bux last month but the two still remain on good terms.
Lineker was spotted with the 36-year-old Welsh model on Holiday in West Hollywood and looked happy despite the split.
But
the former Leicester and Tottenham striker has had a far longer union
with Walkers, celebrating 20 years association with the crisp
manufacturer last May which included meeting up with the cast of his
first ever crisp advert.
Speaking
at a celebration of the two-decade union Lineker said: 'Who would have
thought that 20 years after the first ever ad, I'd be back in Leicester
with some of the original cast.
'It was a great experience reminiscing about the day and recalling the questionable fashion and hairstyles!
Since 1995 Lineker has starred in more than 100 adverts for the crisp tycoons based in his home city of Leicester.
