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.

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

Image
We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
Alan Shearer
Image
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.

I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.
Alan Shearer
Image
Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.
Alan Shearer
Image
First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.

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