There was a big possibility that I would have had to leave Newcastle had Ruud Gullit stayed as manager.

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

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.

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

Defeat is not worth thinking about.

I've got two girls. I like to play golf. Apart from that there's not a lot goes on in my life. So I am boring, aren't I?
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.

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

When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.

My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

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.

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

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.

I spend time with my family. I have got two daughters who are too young to know their Dad's a footballer. They just want to play with their Dad. I like to play golf, too, but apart from that, that's me, I'm afraid.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

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.

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.

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.

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.
