Uganda issued a wave of celebrity-themed legal tender in the mid-2000s through licensing arrangements common among smaller mints courting the novelty collector market — pieces with no connection to the issuing country and no plausible circulation intent. Lineker's association here is almost certainly tied to his post-playing career as a BBC presenter rather than anything from his time at Leicester, Everton, or Tottenham.
