Although he retired a quarter century ago and made just 18 appearances for Nagoya Grampus Eight, Gary Lineker remains one of the names most closely associated with Japanese soccer among foreign fans.
The England international's strike rate here was well below a career average that saw him score just over a goal a game at Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite all the fame and accolades, however, Lineker was never considered a "great" player, but rather a supreme goal poacher — a player that always found himself in the right place at the right time, and someone whose ability to convert chances was second to none.
