If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.

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.

Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.

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.

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

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
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
I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.
Alan Shearer

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.

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
