More quotes by Alan Shearer
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
Alan Shearer
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
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
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'.
Alan Shearer
You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
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.
Alan Shearer
My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.
Alan Shearer
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.
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
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.
Alan Shearer
People say he doesn't score a lot of goals with his head, but does he really have to with the ability he has in his feet? He makes spectacular goals look easy. His technique is fantastic. (on Thierry Henry)
Alan Shearer
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
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.
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
Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.
Alan Shearer
If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.
Alan Shearer
This is the better one. It's identical.
Alan Shearer
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.
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
