Gary Lineker on moment his son was given one night to live amid cancer diagnosis
ShareShareShareShareShare


Gary Lineker previously opened up about the moment he was told his baby son could die from leukaemia.
The presenter and England goalscorer, 64, has been a staple on screens for years thanks to his appearances on shows such as Match Of The Day.
However, in the 1990s, Gary – who is on The Assembly tonight (May 11) – faced heartbreak after his son was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as a baby.

Gary Lineker on son’s cancer diagnosis
Gary is a proud dad to four sons. He shares George, Harry, Tobias and Angus with ex-wife Michelle Cockayne.
Back in 1991 though, the family was dealt some devastating news when George, just two months old, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia – and was given between a 10 and 20% chance of survival.
Prior to the diagnosis, Gary and Michelle started noticing small bumps on George’s forehead. He also had become unsettled and had swellings under the arms and in his groins.
Despite the biopsy being clear and the doctors confirming it was a skin condition, Gary was not too sure about it. He voiced his concerns to take a closer look.
“There were two of them and I’ll never, never forget it. They took his nappy off, had a look and then they just looked at each other and went: ‘Oh, I’m really sorry to tell you, this is something far more serious,’” Gary said on the In The Moment podcast in 2022.
