OLIVER HOLT: If you think Harry Kane should be dropped, you are MAD

Gary Lineker scored 30 league goals for Everton in the 1985-86 season, making him top of the charts in Division One, ahead of Frank McAvennie, John Aldridge and Ian Rush.

He was one of the best strikers in the world at that point in his career and for the next four years. He moved to Barcelona that summer. He was a superstar of the game.

But when he got to the World Cup in Mexico in the summer of 1986, he struggled. He was already on a run of four games without a goal for England going into the tournament and he toiled without reward in the stifling heat.
