More quotes by 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
If you take the money away, a lot of the footballers would still be playing football. So, the money has nothing to do with it.
Alan Shearer
My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.
Alan Shearer
I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
If people don't like my style, then I can't do anything about that. I have been like that since I first entered into the game and it hasn't done me bad in the past, so I am not going to change now.
Alan Shearer
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
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

Alan Shearer
There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.
Alan Shearer
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer
First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.
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
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
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
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
You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
Alan Shearer
I made no secret of the fact I'd love to stay in football and to do that, you need badges. I'm starting them and that's the next step for me - to continue this next season.
Alan Shearer
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.
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)
