The BBC announced last week that Lineker will leave his role as host, which he has held since 1999, at the end of the current football season. Saturday’s episode of the football highlights programme opened with pundit Alan Shearer, Lineker’s fellow former England striker, saying direct to the camera: “All good things must come to an end.” Lineker then appeared, and said: “Yes Alan – Lee Carsley’s England reign is over. It’s back to business in the Premier League.” Despite his exit, the 63-year-old will remain with the BBC after both parties agreed to a contract extension through to the 2026 World Cup. Lineker will host BBC Sport’s coverage of the FA Cup in the 2025-26 campaign and continue presenting the Match Of The Day: Top 10 podcast for BBC Sounds, which will also host The Rest Is Football podcast, produced by Lineker’s Goalhanger Podcasts, with one episode released on the platform each week. The BBC has said future plans for Match Of The Day would be “announced in due course” with Mark Chapman, Alex Scott, Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan among those being tipped as candidates to replace him. Following the announcement, Lineker said it “has been an absolute joy and privilege to present such an iconic show for the BBC, but all things have to come to an end” on his podcast, The Rest Is Football. He added: “I bowed out in my football career when I felt it was the right time. I feel this is now the right time. “I think the next contract they’re looking to do Match Of The Day slightly differently, so I think it makes sense for someone else to take the helm.” Lineker has hosted Match Of The Day since 1999 and will have presented the show for more than a quarter of a century when he leaves in May 2025.
When it comes to providing the best education for Pulaski County students, it matters who’s driving the bus. That was the message Pulaski County Board of Education Chair Cindy Price had after Superintendent Patrick Richardson was handed the district’s PRISM (Pulaski Recognizes Innovative Staff Members) award for Excellence in Education. “Many times I’ve heard Mr. Richardson say, ‘It’s all about getting the right person on the right bus and in the right seat.’ The most important seat is in the very front of the bus,” Price said. “... I’m glad we have Mr. Richardson driving that bus for us. And I appreciate him very much.” The metaphor was particularly apt, seeing as how in his nomination letter, it was noted that Richardson is capable of driving an actual school bus if necessary. “Knowing that it is difficult to recruit bus drivers, Mr. Richardson maintains his CDL so that he can drive a bus when needed,” according to the letter, read out at Tuesday’s school board meeting by Middle School Supervisor Rodney McAninch. Richardson even drove a bus full of supplies out to Western Kentucky when that area was struck by tornado damage, the letter stated. The letter called Richardson a “protecting force” for the district during situations such as the pandemic and, more recently, the concern surrounding Amendment 2, a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would have allow public tax dollars to go towards private educational institutions. That amendment was ultimately voted down by Kentuckians. McAninch read that Richardson showed “unwavering support for public schools at personal, professional and political expense” by speaking out against the amendment. More than that, however, Richardson has be a strong leader ever since he stepped into the position. “Since becoming superintended of Pulaski County Schools in 2018, the district has consistently ranked in the top 20% of all schools in Kentucky based on state testing results,” the nomination letter read. It also noted his extracurricular activities, as it were. “In his efforts to improve the educational landscape of his school district, community and state, Mr. Richardson has served on many governing boards and councils,” the letter read. “For more than 10 years, he has been involved in with the Kentucky School Plant Management Association, having served as an active member, vice president and president. He has served on the Superintendent Advisory Council, advising the commissioner of education, sharing his experiences and perspectives to inform the commissioner’s decision making. He’s also served on the local Chamber of Commerce board, providing an important and influential pro-education perspective to the group.” In being presented the award, Richardson was joined by many members of his family. When asked if he had any words, Richardson said, “The only way I’m successful at all, it’s because of the people I have around me. And I appreciate this. When I was hired as superintendent, I told the board I feel like my role is to remove barriers, and that’s what I’ve always been about, is trying to remove barriers and let the people do the work. “... It’s been, many times, at the expense of these folks,” he said, pointing to his family members. “I appreciate and love them, and thank you all for supporting me.” Other recipients of PRISM awards were Kim Turpen and James Cox. A letter written in support of Turpen, a math teacher at Southwestern High School, stated that she goes “above and beyond on a daily basis to improve the lives of Southwestern High School students. She’s usually the first teacher to arrive at school, (and) provides morning math tutoring to any student in need of assistance.” The letter for Cox, the assistant principal at Southern Middle School, said, “Mr. Cox is a tremendous asset to the students, staff and families of Southern Middle School. ... He is the one who comforts our students with the greatest needs when they need it the most. For our teachers, he is always there with a listening ear and encouraging voice.”
