Alan Shearer
No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
Alan Shearer
You never get fed up scoring goals.
Alan Shearer
Nothing's black or white in our country - you're either brilliant or you're hopeless
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
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.

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
I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.
Alan Shearer

I still get butterflies when England are playing.
Alan Shearer
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
Alan Shearer
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
Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.
Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer
If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.
Alan Shearer
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
Alan Shearer
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'.
Alan Shearer
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
