If you take the money away, a lot of the footballers would still be playing football. So, the money has nothing to do with it.

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
Alan Shearer
Image
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 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.

Image
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
Image
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.

Image
One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.
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'.

Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.
Alan Shearer
Image
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 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
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.

You only get one chance of an England debut.

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

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'.

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

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. There is nothing I can do about the fact that the real me does not get across and it is probably difficult to know the real me.

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.

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

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