I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.

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.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

For me, Paul Scholes has been the best midfield player in the Premier League. By a mile. He has the lot. He scores and creates goals, he can pass the ball, he can head it, and rounds all this off with a competitive streak.

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

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?

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.

Image
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.

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

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

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.
