Gary Lineker films crisps ad in Richmond
4:01pm Tuesday 1st July 2008
Snack lovers by Richmond's riverside were in for a treat today when the face of Walkers Crisps, Gary Lineker, dropped by.
The former English international striker was part of a film crew which descended on the borough this afternoon to make a new advert for the crisps giant.
Onlookers who had been out enjoying the sunshine watched as a production team built what seemed to be a makeshift market stall for filming.
Sports pundit Lineker has been fronting adverts for the snack food manufacturer since 1995.
The commercials generally play on the star's nice guy image frequently portraying him as a crisp obsessed villain.
