'Can't forgive Lineker snub'
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola met with England legend Gary Lineker for a BBC interview, and made it clear that he could not forgive the latter for an incident during Pep's childhood at Barcelona. The City boss reminded the England hero how he had upset him as a youngster, when Lineker -- then a star at the Nou Camp while Guardiola was rising through the ranks and acting as a ball boy on match days -- refused to give his shirt to Guardiola. "In your period [at the Nou Camp] I was a ball boy," began Guardiola. "I always asked you for the shirt after the game and you never gave me. Never! I cannot forgive you for that." But Lineker had a ready excuse to the joking jibe: "They never allowed us to give away our shirts in those days. Now they have many shirts but then you had to keep the same shirt all season."
