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
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.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.

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.

You never get fed up scoring goals.

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'.

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.
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
Image
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
Alan Shearer
Image
I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.

No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
Alan Shearer
Image
You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
Alan Shearer
Image
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.
Alan Shearer
Image
My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
