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'.

More quotes by 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
At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.
Alan Shearer
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.
Alan Shearer
No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
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
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
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
Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.
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'.
Alan Shearer
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.
Alan Shearer
I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
Alan Shearer
There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.
Alan Shearer
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
I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.
Alan Shearer
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
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 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
My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.
Alan Shearer
Defeat is not worth thinking about.
Alan Shearer
I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
