Richards admitted he was left feeling "mugged off" by the comment, but Lineker found the story hilarious. "I was thinking to myself whether or not he was being serious or if he was having banter. But he was being deadly serious. I did not know how to take it," he added.
It's not the first time that the pundit has touched upon the Welshman's bold nature, as he previously opened up on training ground conflicts at Man City on the Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast.
