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

You only get one chance of an England debut.

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.

You never get fed up scoring goals.
Alan Shearer
Image
When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.

Defeat is not worth thinking about.

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'.

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.

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

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

I have never wanted to go abroad before but you can never say never in football.

Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.
