Gary Lineker's brother Wayne has taken to social media for the first time after footage of him being knocked out emerged online.
On Wednesday, a video went viral of the Ocean Beach club owner stepping out of a car before being approached by a group of men.
After a verbal exchange with the group, the 62-year-old was floored with a single punch outside Eden Bar, San Antonio in Ibiza.

The altercation is believed to have happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
According to The Sun, the 62-year-old was "out cold for at least six minutes"' and also had "blood pouring out of his mouth".
The incident is believed to have happened after a man and his friends "began pestering" a female acquaintance of Lineker in her 20s.
It's claimed police did attend the scene and Lineker eventually left in a taxi.
On Wednesday, Lineker took to Instagram for the first time since the attack.
He did not address the incident and instead wished his son Freddie a happy 20th birthday.
"Sorry @freddie_lineker you won’t like me for this but as a dad it’s very special… "Happy 20th birthday to my special handsome boy and superstar DJ… keep doing what’s [sic] you’re doing.
"Big things coming your way and to your credit without any help from me!! 'Dad I got this, Appreciate you wanting to help me but I need to do this myself.' So proud of you when you said this to me. Love you #my boy."
Wayne is a year younger that Match of the Day host Gary and is best-known for owning some of the biggest bars and clubs in the Spanish islands.
He regularly hosts top-tier celebrities at Ocean Beach, including a slew of footballers.
Jack Grealish has attended events at the spot and Lineker offered him a four-week loan deal to work at the beach club after he was left out of England's Euro 2024 squad.
