More quotes by Alan Shearer
The FA Cup means a lot. There is a real passion here for the competition which you don't get elsewhere. It's a love affair. It's part and parcel of living up here. People might think I'm daft, but I'm not wrong I'd rather win the Cup than the League.
Alan Shearer
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
Alan Shearer
If people are going to write bad things about me because it makes news, I can brush it aside because I've had this for 10 years. I'm big enough and strong enough to cope with it. It's what comes with being Alan Shearer.

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.
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
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
Alan Shearer
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
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
First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.
Alan Shearer
One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.
Alan Shearer
I have never wanted to go abroad before but you can never say never in football.
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
Defeat is not worth thinking about.
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'.
