Jim Davidson calls for BBC to axe Gary Lineker from Match of the Day

Jim Davidson has called for the BBC to axe Gary Lineker from \'Match of the Day\'.

The 66-year-old comedian has taken aim at the retired footballer\'s "lefty political views", and insisted TV bosses should look at replacing the programme\'s presenter with former Arsenal striker-turned-pundit Ian Wright.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Jim ranted: "I just can\'t stand his lefty political views. I can\'t stand anyone\'s viewers that are not mine.

"So here, you BBC lefties. If you really want to show some guts, get rid of that over-paid, goal-hanging a******* Lineker and give it to Ian Wright.

"Fantastic, Ian Wright is my favourite. They were are, I\'ve said it now."

Jim also addressed Gary\'s looks and compared him to the eccentric title character from cult classic ITV animated series \'Catweazle\'.

Last year, outspoken Jim - who was born in Kidbrooke, south east London - hit out at the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, accusing him of "f****** up" his hometown amid a rise in knife crime over recent years.
