At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.

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'.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.

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.

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

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
Alan Shearer
Image
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 always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.
Alan Shearer

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
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.
