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.
Alan Shearer
Image
Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.
Alan Shearer

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.

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

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.

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)
