The BBC presenter Lineker had been critical of the England team after the draw with Denmark, which led to Kane responding
Gary Lineker has responded to Harry Kane 's comments after the England captain urged former stars to be mindful of their words when criticising the current squad.
"I would never disrespect any ex-player. All I would say is remember what it is like to wear the shirt and that their words are listened to. Some of the lads, I don't know how many, but we do hear it. We all want to win a major tournament and I'm sure they want us to win a major tournament and being as helpful as they can and building the lads up with confidence would be a much better way of going about it.
Lineker continued: "Can you imagine if we went on and said ‘well,I thought they played really well’? We’d be lying for a start because they didn’t play well and Harry knows that they didn’t play well. And there’s one bit there - which, you know, I understand - where he said ‘they have responsibilities being ex-England players and they should know, they know what it’s like. It’s not like they’ve won anything’ or words to that effect. Fine - and he’s absolutely right.
