(CNN) At the very least, nobody can accuse Gary Lineker of not being a good sport.

The retired soccer player and BBC sports presenter bravely stripped to his boxer shorts to present the program "Match of the Day" on Saturday.

The stunt was the result of a promise Lineker made late last year. He vowed to appear on TV in just his underwear if his former soccer team, Leicester City, won the Premier League in May.

An Everton supporter holds a sign in May urging BBC presenter Gary Lineker to keep his promise.

The chances were certainly in his favor. Oddsmakers made the club a 5,000-1 long shot at the start of the season. But in perhaps the underdog story of the year in sports, Leicester City walked away with the title.
