OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Lineker would “definitely” host a refugee at his home again.
The ‘Match of the Day’ presenter had Rasheed move into his Surrey mansion and has admitted it was a “hugely positive experience” whilst he says gave him “such a different perspective on life to both himself and his boys”.
Taking to Twitter, he shared the note and captioned it: “This letter alone made it worthwhile. Thanks Rasheed for giving such a different perspective on life to both myself and my boys. Thanks too to @RefugeesAtHome for helping to make this happen. It was a hugely positive experience and I will definitely host again. (sic)”
And in the note, Rasheed thanked Gary and his family for always making him feel welcome.
The handwritten note, which he posted online, reads: “Dear Gary Lineker, when I was moving to your home, I was worried that you might be unfriendly and conservative but it was all reverse what I thought. During my stay at your beautiful home, I never felt that I am a stranger or guest but it seemed to me as if I am a member of your family. I can never forget your hospitality, love and company that you and your lovely respectful children gave to me. There is a saying in Balochi language that if you give me a glass of water, I owe you in my entire life. In fact, you did more. Best wishes, Rasheed (sic)”
Back in September, the 59-year-old former England striker revealed he was going to share his house with an asylum seeker.
He said: “I have had so much connection with refugees over the last couple of years. I have met scores of young ­refugees through football schemes and they are genuinely lovely kids and they appreciate any help they can get.
“I’m sure it will be fine. I have been thinking of doing something like that for a while. My kids are all grown up so I’ve got plenty of room so if I can help on a temporary basis then I’m more than happy to do so. Why not? I’m used to young men in my house, I have four lads in their 20s and believe you me I’m sure they will behave better than my lot do. Bloody messy buggers boys, aren’t they?”
