Charlton were defeated by Wycombe in a League One clash, during which their Twitter admin made an error.

The Addicks were 1-0 down when Garath McCleary almost doubled the visitors’ lead at The Valley.

Charlton’s Twitter wrote of the Wycombe attack: “49′ McCleary sees a sh*t deflect wide from the edge of the box.”

And the errant ‘I’ instead of ‘O’ in shot had Lineker reminding fans of when he pooed on the pitch.

The Match of the Day host joked: “Brings back memories”.

The incident took place in a group game against Ireland in the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

The Leicester native, who made 80 appearances for England, had already scored during the first half to set England on their way before disaster struck.

Lineker had suffered bowel issues in the day before the match and despite feeling dodgy on the pitch, refused to tell Robson that he wasn’t well.

It wasn’t until the second half when he tried to stretch for the ball that he lost control on the field.

“There’s a bit, if you ever see the footage, where Gary Stevens comes over and asks what’s wrong.

“And I go, ‘I’ve s*** myself’. I just didn’t know what to do.

“Thank God I had dark blue shorts on that day.

“I’m shovelling it out and rubbing myself on the grass like a dog.”

The Match of the Day presenter had to be subbed off in the 83rd minute.
