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

Image
I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.

There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.

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

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.

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

If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.
Alan Shearer
Image
You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
