Gary Lineker tore up when he said goodbye to the day of the day after the controversial decision of the BBC to Bijl.
The popular presenter thanked his colleagues and the day staff's competition for his 26 years who presented the show.
Huldesten came in from former legendary teammates, managers, players, colleagues and family in a genuine farewell assembly that the show closed.
Man City Boss, Pep Guardiola, the presenter told: “You won't believe it, but you will be missed!
“You have my Barcelona shirt – you can send it to me!”
Claudio Ranieri, former manager of Leicester, was another to send his praise to the former Foxes player.
He said: “Well done for the great work you did.
“2016, we will always remember.”
His fellow gastheer Alan Shearer and Micah Richards then presented a tearful Gary Lineker with a golden boot.
Motd legend Alan Hansen also praised the departing presenter and said that his “sharp, intelligent” skills on the field were transferred to the studio.
“It was a seamless journey,” he added.
During the show, the former football captain of England interviewed Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot, who offered praise for the presenter.
“And thank you for being such a great host of a BBC show that I have looked at many times,” said Slot.
The Liverpool manager added: “I would like to give you a Liverpool shirt instead of the other club you played for!”
Emotional Gary praised staff behind the scenes while he bowed out of the show.
He said: “Let me thank me for all the people with whom I had the pleasure of working in the 25 years …
'Thank you for all the people in the show you don't see … Thank you all.
“Note my football career, everyone did the hard work.”
He then shared a special message with viewers, thanked them for their support and added a joke: “I'm sorry that your team is always last!”
At the start of the day of the day, Gary Lineker opened by saying: “It was not meant to end this way” before he refers to the title race that was over and Champions League qualification was everything you were to focus on.
The program was opened with clips from the former football player in action on the field, followed by the words “the end of an era”.
Gary was previously spotted and looked relaxed in a checked shirt and jeans, smiling as he arrived in the studios.
Tonight's BBC Online Preview said: “The best promotion of the last day of the Premier League season, presented for the last time by Gary Lineker.”
However, it came after he recently left colleagues in no doubt about his feelings on BBC director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski.
He was seen to bump his boss and comments about him, who were described as “bone”.
It follows a controversial row about his use of social media.
The BBC has devised a new format, but have tried presenters to replace Gary Lineker next season.
Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan have large shoes to fill.
The Leicester, born in Leicester, who seamlessly moved from football player to one of the most famous presenters at the Corporation, was temporarily suspended in March 2023.
He was involved in an impartiality between comments he made as a criticism of the new asylum policy of the then government.
In November 2024 he announced that he would resign from presenting the competition of the day at the end of the season, but would still organize the World Cup and FA Cup cover.
A statement from Lineker was: “I care a lot about the game, and for the work I have done with the BBC for many years. Like I said, I would never consciously post something anti-Semitic again against everything I stand for.
“However, I recognize the mistake and upset that I have caused, and repeat how sorry I am. A step back now takes the responsible way of acting.”
But the ex-England captain suggested that he wants to get away from traditional television when asked in an interview about his schedule after Motd.
Just a few days before he announced his exit of the BBC on Monday, Lineker told the Podcast Beyond The Title: “I have a large podcast company professionally and I think it takes quite a bit of my time and it will probably take a little more now.
“It is really exciting and it is a lot of fun. We are doing very well. I don't think I will do a lot of television.
'Really proud'
“Hopefully I am in a position where I can just choose things that I really want to do. So I really think the podcast world.”
Lineker also stated that his temporary employment career made him more proud than his on-pitch heroic for teams such as Leicester, Everton, Spurs and Barcelona.
He added: “I am probably a bit proud of what I did when broadcasting then possible football, because I always said I was born to be in the box, not on the box.
“I had to work very hard on television.
“I had to work hard on football, but it came naturally, while television did not come naturally.
“It took a lot of hard work and effort and determination and studying and things from other people and how they do it.
“In the end I got there. I am probably proud of the fact that I got the top in the broadcast.”
