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.

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.

I would play in any number shirt for Newcastle United, but the No 9 at Newcastle is something very special and I've always wanted to wear it. I mentioned it to the manager, he mentioned it to Les and Les has been very kind and given it to me.

It does not bother me that some say I'm dull and boring because the people that do know me will tell you a different story. It is very difficult to be open with people you don't know. There is nothing I can do about the fact that the real me does not get across and it is probably difficult to know the real me.

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

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.

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

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?
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.

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

You never get fed up scoring goals.

One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.

Image
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.

I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.
Alan Shearer
Image
First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.

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.

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
Image
I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.

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.

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