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.

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
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
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

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 have never wanted to go abroad before but you can never say never in football.

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.

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.
Alan Shearer
Image
I made no secret of the fact I'd love to stay in football and to do that, you need badges. I'm starting them and that's the next step for me - to continue this next season.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.
Alan Shearer
Image
I would play in any number shirt for Newcastle United, but the No 9 at Newcastle is something very special and I've always wanted to wear it. I mentioned it to the manager, he mentioned it to Les and Les has been very kind and given it to me.

I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.
Alan Shearer
Image
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.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that
Alan Shearer

When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.

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.

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

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.
