More quotes by 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
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
Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that
Alan Shearer
You should always give 100%. If you do that then no-one can ask any more of you. Someone once said to me when I was a kid: 'If you're asked to do ten sprints, by all means do 11 but never do nine because you're only cheating yourself'.
Alan Shearer
I still get butterflies when England are playing.
Alan Shearer
I have never wanted to go abroad before but you can never say never in football.
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

Alan Shearer
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
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
We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
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
Defeat is not worth thinking about.
Alan Shearer
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
Alan Shearer
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
Alan Shearer
No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
Alan Shearer
There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.
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
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
Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.
