There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
Alan Shearer
Image
When I go home every night, I can look in the mirror and say I have given 110 per cent for Newcastle United. If people aren't happy with that, I can't give any more.
Alan Shearer
Image
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
Alan Shearer
Image
I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.
Alan Shearer
Image
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.

I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.

Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
Alan Shearer
Image
If people don't like my style, then I can't do anything about that. I have been like that since I first entered into the game and it hasn't done me bad in the past, so I am not going to change now.

Image
I would play in any number shirt for Newcastle United, but the No 9 at Newcastle is something very special and I've always wanted to wear it. I mentioned it to the manager, he mentioned it to Les and Les has been very kind and given it to me.
Alan Shearer
Image
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer
Image
I don't know what I'd have become if I hadn't been a footballer I wrote down 'dustbin man' on a careers questionnaire at school till my dad made me change it to 'joiner'.

Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.

Image
The FA Cup means a lot. There is a real passion here for the competition which you don't get elsewhere. It's a love affair. It's part and parcel of living up here. People might think I'm daft, but I'm not wrong I'd rather win the Cup than the League.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
Alan Shearer
Image
For me, Paul Scholes has been the best midfield player in the Premier League. By a mile. He has the lot. He scores and creates goals, he can pass the ball, he can head it, and rounds all this off with a competitive streak.

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
Alan Shearer
Image
It does not bother me that some say I'm dull and boring because the people that do know me will tell you a different story. It is very difficult to be open with people you don't know. There is nothing I can do about the fact that the real me does not get across and it is probably difficult to know the real me.
