Image
I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.
Alan Shearer
Image
I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.

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.

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.

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.

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
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

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
