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.

I don't know what I'd have become if I hadn't been a footballer I wrote down 'dustbin man' on a careers questionnaire at school till my dad made me change it to 'joiner'.

Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

Defeat is not worth thinking about.

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.

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.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

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.

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

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.
Alan Shearer
Image
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 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.
Alan Shearer

I want to be around when Newcastle win a trophy because I want to see this place lift off. It will be one hell of a party for a long time.

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?
