For those who don't know Rob burrow was a very successful rugby league player who despite his short stature was one of the best and most consistent scrum halfs in the game. In 2019 he announced he was suffering from Motor neurone disease, its a fantastic book and even if you're not a fan of rugby I think you'll like it too. (Rob was on my rivals team too but the bloke was an excellent player and I wish him and his family nothing but the best)
@Benedict Hampus went to Newcastle v Leeds years ago waited for hours to get shearers autograph I was only young at the time. Went straight past all the fans wouldn’t even look at us. Gary speed came over and signed every autograph absolute gent. I’m a Newcastle fan and they always say don’t meet your heroes 😂 he’s a very ignorant man I’ve heard other stories too off people I’ve met saying the same. Only gets nice when there’s a camera on
I still use Shearer as an example today of a striker who would put the ball, himself & the keeper into the net if he needed to. Proper old-school striker
Great shout with Matt Le Tissier he was the first footballer when I was growing up that used to leave me open mouthed and gobsmacked with what he could do with a ball. I'm in no way comparing him to the players of today like Messi and Ronaldo but any young kids reading this who don't know who he is or never got to see him play please RUclips him he was unbelievable.
Matt did something that showed real courage, and that was speaking out against the establishment, like Jokavic, and for me that will always make his bravery stand way above others that take the knee for their corporate paymasters.
We used to give Shearer so much s**t at Old Trafford but it was genuinely a sign of respect. The guy was incredible. Even at our best he was that one player we knew could still be the difference. Best striker to ever grace the Prem.
as an Aussie living in the UK in early 90s pretty blessed to have all these players getting shearer was one player i would have loved at utd him mentioning le tissier at the end made me smile even the smaller clubs had guns back then
I know there must be footballers now that have their heads and hearts in the right place, BUT, Shearer and the England team that played at EURO 96, those guys had something i feel is missing so much in todays footballers. I do feel Social media and the internet has diluted people and the magic and fabric of life somehow, and Alan has this strength of character in bucket loads. My favourite striker.
These videos are just brilliant. Great entertainment and a great insight into players as people. Hearing Alan talk about the book he read, the mental strength the guy needed and how inspirational it was to him was very grounding.
My old work place brings back memories, for those that don’t know the area it’s shepherd offshore land where sub sea umbilicals are made by two different company’s and big Al was close friends with Freddie, for those who have not met big Al he’s a great bloke no aires and grace’s just a down to earth lad and one hell of a centre forward regardless of who you support. 👍

really annoys me how some seem to not like shearer as a pundit. he's salt of the earth. funny, concise with his analysis of games and can take as much as he gives. proper geordie lad. oh and an absolute footballing LEGEND.
@@VoiceOfThe agreed he's a bit wet for a pundit, great player. But would like him to give his real opinion you can tell he's holding back most of the time
If you were to put somebody into a machine and wanted to make the perfect striker Alan Shearer would come out. The man had it all. He was quick, deadly on both feet, brilliant header of a ball, volleys, free kicks, penos and above all was a very clever and nasty footballer. A defenders nightmare.
3:22 - And that is why he's a Tyneside Legend till the day Newcastle disappears from the Earth. Could have had his pick of clubs but chose to forego it all for his boyhood side. Wish he could have played for us at Old Trafford though!
We met alan in Swansea 2 years ago, took pics with us signed the landlords Newcastle scarf and when we went to pay for our meals we was told shearer paid, blew us away an absolute legend
I must admit this surprised me! I always took Alan Shearer as 'Mr Company Man' never commits himself,Mr vague! ,But he came across as down to earth& straight forward!
Shearer...admires Liverpool FC and I fondly remember his radio commentary in the CL against Barca at Anfield. He was so emotional during that comeback. Fantastic player and excellent pundit.
@@KryptonitetoallBS Well....if only your opinion counted that would mean something. But it doesn't. The opinions of bigoted, cowardly, incel trolls don't. Let me guess, you're either a Manc, Chelsea supporter or a Toffee. Can't see that kind of jealousy coming from anywhere else.
@@madlfcdc5890 LOL, you mean the truth hurts son. You're a typical (LFC) Scouser, ie. utterly deluded and as we all know (LFC) Scousers never accept any blame because, it's NEVER your fault 👍🤣 WATP.
Majority of his career he was linked with a move to man utd deal was prettymuch complete but he wanted to move to his boyhood club.Dont say he has a soft spot for Liverpool just cause he respects them if that was the case then he had talked about and praised Man utd all his career so he should have a big soft spot for Man Utd. Liverpool were top dogs in 80s.
I started actively watching football in 1999-2000 season and it was fascinating to see Alan Shearer always score, he wasn't the best dribbler but always scored and played for quite a long time. Harry Kane reminds me of Alan Shearer
90% of shearer's game was his football brain. He wasn't blessed with pace but his positional sense was above and beyond. A true football legend with a rocket of a right foot.
The one that got away! Would have loved to have seen Shearer at Man United under Sir Alex. It's possible we'd have won another Champions League. Greatest english striker of my lifetime, incredible.
Gazza and Shearer both would have been idolised at old Trafford and think gazza would have flourished better in his game and off the pitch under sir Alex
Biggest Alan fan. From joining newc after Blackburn, being part of top sides likes Bobby robson, being a saviour for many seasons hitting 20-30-35 goals whatever, his passing, leadership, and also ENGLAND! He’s mature, a proper man, a wonderful guy to have around, and he’s top class witty as well. His analysis is spot on people think it’s old fashioned and boring n he holds back. He took over on MOTD from Gary’s mate, and is always the best on telling it how it is. You can NOT beat shearer. Best player of premier league history by far. Henry yes had more ability and was better overall, Rooney was near about, Lampard was sensational on the pitch not just goals, scholes great in united team, but shearer from his stats, leadership, that lost art that is an old fashioned target man, centre forward whatever ya like, he’s outstanding. Deserves so much more.
@@Makina-99 being from southampton, i met alan shearer in a soton night club not long after he scored a hatrick on his debut for us. And his wife went to school with my sister in law. Its a small world. Ps shearer, the best premier league striker in history. Fact.
@@Makina-99 yeah ive heard similar. Wouldnt mind him in my team though when he was in his pomp. He was a good up and coming player for us but when he went to blackburn and newcastle he was the real deal. Incredible player.

For me the Premier Leagues best ever striker. Missed quite a few games through some serious injuries and still finished with that amazing record
and a few goals the year before it became the Premier League as well. Would have had 300+ easy without the big injuries
