More quotes by Alan Shearer
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer
You never get fed up scoring goals.
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
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
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
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
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
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
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
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.
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
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
The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.
Alan Shearer
Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
Alan Shearer
You only get one chance of an England debut.
Alan Shearer
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
Alan Shearer
People say he doesn't score a lot of goals with his head, but does he really have to with the ability he has in his feet? He makes spectacular goals look easy. His technique is fantastic. (on Thierry Henry)
Alan Shearer
This is the better one. It's identical.
