This week's Late Tackle comes from the boys' club which shaped Gary Lineker.

 

Gary's Dad goes along too as presenter Mark Chapman finds out about the early talents of one of England's finest goal-scorers.

 

Gary is now a BBC Television linkman and will be at the World Cup 2006 in Germany. And, as the programme discovers, the journey to Munich has already begun.


Episode four in the BBC East Midlands series also follows the Leicestershire plumber who is captaining his country.

 

He plays for Montserrat, the tiny Caribbean island which is hosting its first World Cup qualifying match.


Meanwhile, Mark Chapman's weekly list slot takes a look at the top ten musical sporting connections with some unmissable performances from some of the great names in East Midlands sport.


Late Tackle is on BBC ONE (East Midlands) on Monday 29 March from 11.15 to 11.45pm.
