The statistic that links Toni Duggan and Gary Lineker
Gary Lineker was the last player to wear a Barcelona shirt
Since he left in 1989 no English person has played for the club. Toni Duggan will end that
Toni Duggan's signing for Barcelona won't just boost the women's team's level but end a period of almost 30 years without an English person (or a Brit) playing in the club's colours. Gary Lineker was the last and left in June 1989.
Lineker arrived under Terry Venables in 1986 and it has been a long wait since then for another. The TV presenter and pundit wished Duggan good luck on her adventures via social media.
And only the 2nd post War. Good luck @toniduggan https://t.co/emJUngALvX
