I thought Wayne Lineker was pretty much untouchable in Ibiza, but apparently that’s not the case as footage of him being knocked out cold by a group of men last night is now going viral.
Footage shows Lineker, 62, stepping out of a car before being confronted by the group. He exchanges words with them, and is then floored by a single punch, hitting his head on the ground as he lands:

Not nice to see. I know Wayne Lineker has been the butt of a lot of jokes on Sick Chirpse but seeing anyone assaulted like this for no apparent reason just isn’t cool, especially a 60+ year old man just going about his business. Apparently Lineker was ‘out cold for at least six minutes’ and ‘had blood pouring from his mouth’ after the incident.
A student who witnessed the punch said:
“It was horrible – he looked like he could have been dead at one point.
“Wayne just fell on the floor and the man and his friends ran off. He was completely unconscious.
“He wasn’t really speaking much when he did eventually come back round.
“I stayed to help him and the police turned up but they weren’t there for long and didn’t really do much and left quickly.”
The good news is that Wayne Lineker has since posted a bunch of things on Instagram, including a birthday message to his son Freddie, which suggests he’s not doing too badly after being sparked out cold. He hasn’t addressed the incident or provided an update on his condition, so let’s just hope he’s enjoying a speedy recovery. The summer is still young, after all!
For the time Wayne Lineker kicked a lad out of his club for calling him a ‘nonce’, click HERE. Maybe the two incidents are connected?
