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
I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.
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.

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

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

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

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

I still get butterflies when England are playing.
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)

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.

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.

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
Image
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.
Alan Shearer
Image
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
Image
First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.
Alan Shearer
Image
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.

No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.

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.
Alan Shearer
Image
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.

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