No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
Alan Shearer

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.
Alan Shearer
Image
If people are going to write bad things about me because it makes news, I can brush it aside because I've had this for 10 years. I'm big enough and strong enough to cope with it. It's what comes with being Alan Shearer.
Alan Shearer
Image
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
Alan Shearer
Image
I want to be around when Newcastle win a trophy because I want to see this place lift off. It will be one hell of a party for a long time.

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.

People are very proud of Newcastle, very proud to come from here. This is a working class City and they just want to enjoy themselves and live life to the full. They work all week, pick their wages up at the end of the week and they spend it over a weekend by having a good time and watching the football. That's our life.

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.
Alan Shearer
Image
You never get fed up scoring goals.
Alan Shearer
Image
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
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'.
Alan Shearer
Image
You should always give 100%. If you do that then no-one can ask any more of you. Someone once said to me when I was a kid: 'If you're asked to do ten sprints, by all means do 11 but never do nine because you're only cheating yourself'.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that
Alan Shearer
Image
I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.

Nothing's black or white in our country - you're either brilliant or you're hopeless
Alan Shearer

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
