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.

More quotes by Alan Shearer

Image
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.

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

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer

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

You never get fed up scoring goals.

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

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

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.

I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.

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.

At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

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

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.

This is the better one. It's identical.

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.

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.

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

Yes, I do like to be in control. I do like everything to be laid out, to know what I'm doing. I'm very impatient. I like things done yesterday, which is probably a fault of mine. I like things to be neat and tidy and organised. I say what I want and show what I want and I keep things private.
