‘Explain yourself’ – Lineker & Shearer crack up at Micah Richards’ shower routine that’s ‘imperative for the modern man’
MICAH RICHARDS left Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer in stitches after revealing his shower routine.
The three ex-England star got together for the latest episode of the Rest is Football podcast.
Richards, Lineker and Shearer began discussing the commercialisation of modern football, with players now regularly seen promoting brands.
And the Match of the Day host wasted no time in calling out the retired right-back’s use of a specific body moisturiser.
Shearer interjected: “Speaking of that, what the hell? You kept that one quiet didn’t you. Explain yourself, Richards.”
In a recent interview with The Guardian, the ex-Manchester City star said: “Urgh, I hate baths. Sitting in dirty water? No thanks.
“I’ll have a proper scrub in the shower with Laura Mercier body wash and an old-school bar of Dove soap, then apply Kiehl’s body lotion. It’s imperative for the modern-day man.”
Lineker read the extract from the interview to leave Shearer in hysterics.
Richards looked increasingly embarrassed as the Newcastle legend joked: “Have you got a sweat on? You’re going to need a shower in a minute.
“Laura Mercier body wash. Who’s she? Who’s Laura?”

Lineker hilariously replied: “I don’t know but she is suing.”
The trio often leave listeners of their show in hysterics, with Richards recently sharing a story about a player leaving poo in his car.
And Lineker previously teased his co-host, cheekily asking “are you sure you’re the father” after Richards said his seven-year-old son is a talented young striker.
