Hey, YT GOAT
goat admin
All hail Sir Jack Walker!!
Not many players would've turned down man utd offer back in 90s
Shearer🐐
Newcastle were a force in the Premier League in the 90s though.
@@markob53 we were a force from 93-97 before Dalglish ruined it. Man united were the team to beat then
Not many British* players.
Sam Mcivor I’d argue 1998 and 1999 too, FA cup finals and European football
@@bigal9342 yeh but everyone knew they'd lose the fa cup finals! Though seeing them playing in the champions league is one distant memory.
He literally would have been in the debate of Top 5 strikers of all time ever with all those trophies and goals added but His sportsmanship, love to his club is what held him back. Respect.
he loves Newcastle. Respect to him best Premier league Striker of all time
@@csokopsglazersout7447 That title goes to Thierry Henry. Shearer comes close tho
@@ynwafanmrks1817 Shearer was better than Henry
@@csokopsglazersout7447 Mate I would dispute with that, shearer maybe higher in the scoring charts but Henry tops all round, he is undoubtedly the greatest striker in prem and arsenal history
@@pkingglazersout6665 Henry was great and all but no one is better than Shearer
What a legend. He was Newcastle through and through you got to respect that 👏🏾
Nonsense. He chose Jack Walkers millions over his boyhood club when he left Southampton!!!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS no he didn't southampton wanted him newcastle didn't at that time
@@leesoulsby254 You've got the wrong end of the stick. My comment is about when he LEFT Southampton not when he JOINED them!!! When he was at Southampton he was the hottest property in England and Ian Branfoot had clubs queuing up to sign Shearer. Shearer's agent could have rang any club in the country and they would have snapped him up. Shearer had the choice. He could have easily gone to Newcastle who would have thought they had won the lottery, but Shearer chose a small Lancashire team with no recent pedigree at all. Having said that, the owner had a massive chequebook!!!!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS leaving Southampton shearer went to Blackburn because they had the rich owner he chose newcastle in his prime
@@leesoulsby254 His £34,000 per week deal @ Newcastle smashed the UK's biggest salary in football at that time which was Berkamp on £19k per week @ Arsenal. Newcastle United offered the highest wages in Britain in 1996!!!!!!
I’m from Newcastle obviously he’s a god and ppl worship him but outside of Newcastle he seems to be the most underrated player I’ve heard other people talk about the fact he did his knee adapted his game and still went on to be the greatest goal scorer the prems ever seen is incredible
Thank you legend Alan Shearer. I will always honour you with the finger point celebration!
Boss is that you?
Yes I sink that's a good Idea
When he says "I'm Going Home" I can HEAR, I can SEE, I can FEEL the genuine LOVE & ADORATION he has for NEWCASTLE. BRILLIANT.
I think people forget he was signing for a Newcastle that had finished 2nd the year before and really should have won the league. 2020, Mike Ashley’s Newcastle isn’t a realistic representation of the clubs history or stature.
Fat Mike will be shanked one day in the streets of Newcastle and nobody will be able to say they didn't see it coming
He was so in love with Newcastle his first signing was with Southampton then home sickness set in but he didnt think he could travel all the way back to the North East in one journey so he signed for Blackburn, years later he signed for his beloved home town club, now thats dedication, that story would make a glass eye cry.
Keegan sold him the dream and fucked off in January ! Quietly Shearer was thinking after signing wtf ?? We had all these plans and this is what my ex manager has sold me ?? Then Robson brings them back to champions league level and Shearer slates him too ?? Get your facts right !!
Finishing second sounds about right for Alan Shearer. He was never a real winner at heart hence why he picked second best.
@@bighands69 apart from he did finish first at Blackburn and he is the number one premier league goal scorer of all time and no one is even really close lol.
Very rare for a player to be loyal. But Alan was that player loyalty and his ability is why he is mr Newcastle.
And Matt Le Tiss
@Flashheart he retired at Newcastle, your comment is invalid. If he had played for Southampton/ Blackburn AFTER Newcastle then you would make some sense.
@Flashheart that’s fair, Newcastle was his boyhood club, to be fair to him, he could have won plenty at United but decided to stay. I think he deserves some credit where it’s due. I’m not his biggest fan in terms of off the pitch either but can’t fault him for staying the length of his prime at his hometown club.
Crabs in a barrel
Crazy that in 2022 I finally have the same kind of hope watching Newcastle as I had as a little kid when Shearer played for us
As a Liverpool fan i was over the moon that Shearer didn't sign for Man Utd but as a football fan in general..I have nothing but respect for his decision .. It's seldom wrong to follow ones heart
It did not matter if he signed for them or not. Utd still dominated and had a forward line that could score.
Shearer was not a born winner hence why he signed for Newcastle. He could have played for Utd and still played for Newcastle at some point.
@@bighands69 apart from he did win at Blackburn and he is the number one premier league goal scorer of all time and no one is even really close lol.
@@bighands69 also Fergie would have never sold him to Newcastle as why would he sell the Prem’s best ever striker to a rival club lol
Me 2 Simon Mate Iam A Fellow Mighty Red Just Like Ur Yourself Bad Result Last Night For Us 2 Draws In 2 Games So Far This Season
At that time Newcastle were an inch from greatness. Im a Grimsby fan but so wanted Newcastle to win it all, they were so good without winning anything.
Nice 1
I'm a lifelong United fan. I remember back in 1995/6 I was dying to see Shearer at Old Trafford. So excited. Was actually devastated we didn't sign him. Still won the league that season, and went on to sign the likes of Solskjaer, Cole, Yorke, Sheringham. Won more trophies etc. But I'd have loved to have got Shearer. He was just an incredible centre forward. The guy was something special. A goalscoring record in English Football that I think only Harry Kane may beat. So much respect for Alan Shearer.
Are u from London?
Jimmy Greaves, Steve Bloomer, Dixie Dean, and Gordon Hodgson have all beaten that record. English football didn't start in 1991.
I get it. Playing for the club you grew up supporting is a powerful thing. I'm a Man U fan and he would have been a real complement to that team. He would have won a lot of trophies with us. But he got to live his childhood dream and you can't put a price on that.
Great player.
As a United fan I respect that. He would have won leagues gallor and at the very least won us an extra 2 champions league in addition to the 1 he would have won.
But. Newcastle is his home. I can and will respect that. Fair play to him.
Well interestingly we signed ogs after he signed for Newcastle
He won more with Newcastle than he would ever have had with man utd! He won the hearts of fans all over the world, and managed to become the Premier leagues highest goal scorer ever! He would not have put as much effort in to a Man U team than he did with Newcastle, as it wasn't where his heart lay!
Liverpool fan shearer is legend because love Newcastle is local club like Steve Gerrard at Liverpool both choose home clubs over money.
Yeah, at least Liverpool fans understand what it means to be loyal...... man Utd glory hunter fans JUST DON'T GET IT!!! 😂
Bollocks!!! Gerrard stayed because the bin dippers was going to kneecap him if he left
So glad Shearer came to the toon. He really played his heart out every game. How thick was Ruud Gullit to put Shearer on the bench against Sunderland. He didn't last long after that, thank god. Then eventually Sir Bobby, the Legend, came in and took Newcastle into the Champions League.
As a Newcastle fan this video puts the biggest smile on my face because you know he means every word.
100% mate.
Won more leagues than Steven Gerrard and then got to play for his boyhood club. What a legend
A difference...
Gerrard captained his club
(boyhood club 26 years & 1 club man.. (forget USA)....) to a European cup win.
Chose loyalty rather than greed.
No money could buy his loyalty
🤣🤫
@@domijean8023 Hmm, Gerrard tried to go to Chelsea and refused to train, but he received death threats from Liverpool fans, so he stayed...
Loyal only through fear.
@@lifegoals9528 Gerrard claims he never really wanted to swap Anfield for Stamford Bridge and the transfer request was a means of forcing Liverpool to show their love for him. If so, it was a risky, rather selfish tactic, and Gerrard blinked first, deciding he "couldn't jump over the edge of the cliff". At 11pm on 5 July, Gerrard called Marshall: "Tell Rick I want to stay.
"The satisfaction of one title with Liverpool, no matter how long it took, would always eclipse three or four at Stamford Bridge," says Carragher. "Ultimately Stevie realised that."
@@lifegoals9528 That rubbish Steve Gerrard true Liverpool local lads he choose to stay at Anfield.
Embarrassing! Gerrard tried to leave twice.
The Liverpool chief executive even announced " We have done our best, but he's made it clear he wants to go".
Sounds like a loyal guy!
Can understand totally why he signed for United. Not just his hometown club but a chance to wear the shirt Wor Jackie n Supermac wore. United were on the the crest of a wave and no area of the country has the passion that Geordie's have.
Its interesting. He is now a legend forever at his home town club. No amount of trophies can compare to that. He has a Statue outside the ground, it must be surreal
Soon be inside the ground where he belongs thanks to wor Amanda and mehrdad
I think staying at Newcastle made him stand out as singular more, was a good decision and considering what he achieved for the team he should have no regrets.
Considering utd won 13 pl titles he probly does have some regrets
R T If he did he would of said by now, not once has he even mentioned regretting it
@@JordanCarr44 doesn’t mean anything until he swears under oath that he has no regrets of course he’s gona lie to the Newcastle fans he knows how stupid they are haha
@@RT-up1je he won a league with Blackburn, it’s not like he’s trophyless
@@RT-up1je how many of those Manu u players will be remember in 20 or 30 years? Alan Shearer will forever be remembered as a hero for all Gerodies as well as a Premier League legend due to his goal scoring record (I believe he is in the Prem pier League hall of fame now as well). Now me personally would much rather a statue dedicated to me outside my boyhood clubs stadium instead of a couple of medals lol.
People saying he won nothing , he won the hearts of Newcastle
lololol what bs
So nothing then?
@@RT-up1je lolol
AROUNDLONDON Not really, bloke broke record after record and has a statue outside the ground. He’d of just been another player anywhere else let’s be honest despite him being a legend
not bs at all. your probably a liverpool growing up in brighton. typical new school fan has no idea what it would mean to play for your home town club. he could of went anywhere...why newcastle well find the passion for your home town like he did or like i do for my beloved middlesbrough. then its clear no brainer. probably a north east thing.
1:46 "I just stood on the kid" steady there Alan
What he didn't say was "Once I signed for Newcastle I took the No 9 shirt away from Les Ferdinand, he had to wear No 10 shirt, which was part of the deal."
It’s been hard to fill big Als boots since he left, so glad we have ballers to wear the shirt now . Best days ever watching Shearer bang them in , I was there when he signed at the start & his Testimonial v Celtic which was bouncing all the way through , he scored so many goals in the old 1st division including a hatrick on his saints debut v Arsenal at 17 . If the record was for top flight league goals Kane would never catch him .
Some players rise above
club rivalry, when even opposing fan's agree
what fantastic players they are. And there character, sheared is right
up there ,
Shearer, Ginola, Batty, Peacock made Newcastle cool. Great team.
Peacock and Batty made no team cool. Ever.
One of the loveliest memories of my child/early teen hood, was hearing wore Al was signing and all my mates celebrating in the street whilst we played football on the green.
Best centre forward in the premier league ever... from a Man Utd fan since the age of 11
Wow what a legend.
BIG Fish in a small pound.
Real nice lad and an unbelievable player.
Just got pure chills remembering when he signed in 96. Alan robson announcing his name. Pure belta 🥳
as a Blackburn fan I was gutted to see him go, but as Jack Walker put it ' my word is my bond '. glad to see Shearer for the time we had him at Ewood park.
The term legend is bandied around a lot. Alan Shearer is a legend. Salute!
I'm a Blackburn fan and I dont think he would be loved as much as he still is at Ewood if he went to Man Utd.
Although we were gutted to see him go as a fan you can understand him wanting to go and play for Newcastle. He had won the league, the only thing he could do that would be better was to do it with his hometown club.
Well said 👍
He was the best striker iv ever seen absolutely deadly n will always be a legend..... thank u alan
Jack walker said he will only sell Alan Shearer to United over his Dead body. Walker had a big grudge against United.
As ever self respecting man should
Followed his heart..Good lad.
When they’d money….
Winning the league with Blackburn was a massive achievement.. best striker premier league as seen numbers wise fantastic player
I have a wonderful photo of him (Daily Telegraph) diving full length heading in a goal from a corner. Not many can do that.
True toon legend
He should've been joining Arsenal, but this man made a new castle utd one of the best underrated teams in the world .. Respect the legend
This man is a legend!
Real hero my god if hed not done both knees what would he have being? Great guy
I'm from Portugal and I´m New Castle fan thanks to this man right here and Sir Robert William " Bobby " Robson ! Toon forever .
Qual é o teu clube, Porto?
@@comunistanuncatemcomida Claro amigo ! E nascido e criado na invicta .
Need more loyal players like Shearer and Le Tissier
i still think is best years were at rovers, but i respect is decision to go newcastle united
Keegan was Shearer's hero . There's a photo a young Shearer (when he's a kid) taken alongside his hero Keegan. So you can understand why he signed for Newcastle, not only coming home, but also playing for his childhood hero. The whole thing I think it was Kevin Keegan who let Shearer down, big time. As Keegan, after paying a world record fee for Shearer, left Newcastle half way into Shearer's first season. And Newcastle have been all down hill since then.
a true football legend
It would be a better game if players had more loyalty and love like this.
Loyalty cost him trophies, more like went in his comfort zone, he never challenged himself, absolute cop out, Geordies say loyal, I'd say a complete mug who underachieved
Sometimes loyalty costs big. That's why it's so hard to come by. Very few are loyal overall and most follow the money train. Almost everyone takes the big move, it's harder not to.
@@stephenjones529 and others would call you a complete moron and a plastic fan lol. I mean having a statue outside of St James Park and being remembered as a legend until the day the world dies is way more valuable then some trophies. I mean how many players achieved getting a statue outside of a Football club compared to the amount of players who have won the Prem?
@@scottmotcheson7455 he won nothing with Newcastle, underachieved massively, typical Geordie, big fish little pond mentality, he stayed up there so long because he didn't have the balls to challenge himself and move away from his comfort zone, amazing player but his lack of ambition cost him trophies, Geordies will always bang on about loyalty and Shearer will lap it up, but in reality it's a smokescreen for him bottling out of moving to a big club, you lot think you are a big club.....but you're not
@@stephenjones529 Imagine claiming somebody was never challenging themselves because they decided to go to their boyhood club over Man U. He went to Newcastle over the "BUY THE LEAGUE PLAYERS CLUB" which proves a bigger challenge if anything. Another example of STILL salty Man U fans. Probably loves Ole too lol
this man will always be a legend for the Toon and rightly so.
Can you imagine the Utd teams of 96 through to 2001 with Shearer in the team? They won the league 4/5 years without him anyway, they’d have broken records. He went with his heart instead of his head, foolish in a way but admirable more so.
Is it really foolish if he made the choice out of happinesstho. Sure he would win more at Man U but playing for his boyhood club probably brought him more happiness then winning the prem multiple times ever would.
@@scottmotcheson7455 yeah, even as a United fan, I’m glad he chose what HE wanted for his own happiness and it’s absolutely about time players go back to that; make a name for yourself, don’t worry so much about titles. Look at the money being spent now, hardly anyone looking to leave a mark anymore.
I’m a Rangers fan from Glasgow....but I always remember buying that Newcastle Utd top. To this day it’s still my favourite strip. loved the collar 🇬🇧❤️
I'm a Gers fan and a Newcastle fan! 😁
Shearer made the right move as he was a Newcastle obsessive. When he played for Blackburn he used to stay on Tyneside after matches away at St James' Park and just stay in the stadium for several hours with Newcastle's other England players (Rob Lee, Les Ferdinand etc) and hang out there. He'd always said his dream was to captain England while playing for Newcastle... How many of us can say we lived our dream?
Gazza on the other hand, should have gone to Man United in 1988. Spurs was a move where Venables was too scared to fine him for turning up drunk to training, Ferguson would have straightened him out and instead of 57 England caps and being finished by 29, he would have been world class for a decade or more.
Couldn't agree more. SAF would have been the strong role model that could have moulded Gazza into a top professional. Why didn't United think to buy his parents a damn house and his sister a sunbed?
I think he might have stood on the terraces, not entirely sure though
I regret not signing for my boyhood club at 14 sitting in Doug Ellis office at Villa .. I signed for blues my sign on fee was Ian Atkins club capt boots ⚽️ he fulfilled his dream 👊🏽⚡
Could've won league titles at man utd, but massive respect to him for being loyal to his home club
The key thing was he'd already won the league with Blackburn, if he hadn't then he might have decided to spend a few seasons at Man U to win it then return to Newcastle after
He won it once and had opportunities to win it again and also to win European trophies. Shearer simply was not born a winner.
@@bighands69 He couldn't do it all himself. The fact Man U wanted him at the time is a validation of his skills itself. He could have been like Anelka and ask for transfers every other year but not all players are like that. If he was from Manchester he'd have gone there, nothing to do with being a 'born winner'.
@@bighands69 🚨🚨🚨 Plastic Fan Alert 🚨🚨🚨
Excellent striker!
Best english striker of all time its not even close
Wayne Rooney?
@@wr9209 is that a joke have some respect theres at least 3 players ahead of rooney lol
@@thisguy4603 hardly a joke, a serious point when you consider Rooney is England’s all time top scorer. In fact a whole 23 more goals for England than Shearer, Shearer not even top 5. So to say all time best, others aren’t even close is a ridiculous statement considering strikers are fundamentally judged on goals scored. I think it is you sir that should have some respect for those accomplished others.
@@wr9209 shearer has 0.48 goals per game and rooney has 0.44 for england and shearer scored more goals in the euros and world cups than rooney who went to more tournaments keep up sir
@@thisguy4603 .04 difference..woah my mistake, Alan Shearer CLEARLY the greatest ever. What you should do is rephrase and say ‘in your opinion’ because there are multiple contenders to best English striker with very good cases, nothing conclusive is my point. Your disregard for those other players is what is disrespectful here.
P.S. Harry Kane blows Shearers ratio out the water by miles, so he must be way better hey by your logic.
People forget he joined Newcastle when they where one of best teams in the league and only just lost on the title the year before
Yeah but he stayed when they was shite as well when he could have easily gone elsewhere
@@itscominghome4791 yes mate definatly, I was so lucky to see this guy under Sir Bobby Robson as a kid he was the hero of every Newcastle supporting kid in the north east
Not often you'll get loyalties like this these days, especially how good Shearer was in his prime. Newcastle were on the cusp of something potentially great back then and was an attractive offer to play for your hometown club. But I do feel he missed on so much by not going to Man United back then!
Very Well Said
Manchester United tried to sign Alan Shearer not once but twice. First time was when Southampton owner refused to sell to Man Utd, so Shearer went to Blackburn Rovers. The second time was in this video.
Great man and player! Wished he came to Man Utd but respect his decision, still think it was wrong and feel he had to be the big man in a small town and wouldn’t have liked being bossed by Cantona and Keane etc but still a great player!!
I don't doubt Shearer's love for Newcastle both as a city and as a football club. However, when he signed for them Newcastle was one of the top teams in the PL. Expecting to become champions with them and to play regular CL was realistic. Things might have turned out different had Newcastle been a mid-table club or worse.
Well he tried it with Blackburn and then believed in Keegan who fxxxxx off !! I’d say Shearer was well pxxxxx off when he went and legged it and had sold it ! Then don’t forget Shearer tried to sign for Liverpool,check Bobby Robsons account as manager…
I love the fact that money never entered his head he wanted to play for the club he supported that's what's missing in the game now that desire to ignore money and play for a club you either supported or admire shearer is in that league of players that say forget the money I want to play for a club that loves me
Went with his heart. Much respect. He could have won so much more but chose his home team. Morals and dreams
Diffently
Thats what football used to be.
ie what ever team you supported, the local team would be full of local players, ie people who came from that area, and you related to those players most, as they did that magical fantasy thing, of playing for there favourite club.
We all know he would never of signed for newcastle if he had not stood on the stands watching newcastle as a kid, and we all know that.
Shearer at Manchester United would have to share the spotlight!!! Would have definitely been a clash of egos!!! At Newcastle United all the spotlight was on him!!! That's why he chose New Castle!!!
Even if it wouldn’t of been a record transfer fee he woulda gone back to Newcastle! Different class to players now!
Bobby robson signed us good players that got us into Europe. The thing was other than fringe players we had no quality in depth! Without depth if only to fill numbers you can forget it. Shearer is underrated by so many because Newcastle didn’t achieve. When really they did. They had the most prolific player and in form played in the leagues history and they got into Europe what 3/4 times. Lots of quarter finals and semi as well of the cup. We just needed depth which wasn’t there. It’s an intelligence issue
We did pretty well with Shearer signing for us, he must also be bitter that United did so much better than Newcastle in the 90s. Even today his comments reflect he doesn't like United much.
He's going home
He's going home
He's going
Shearer's going home!
The fact he won a premier league is so awesome aswell with Blackburn
Its called loyalty how many can players can say that, i was there when michael owen signed the only loyalty he had was with his pay cheque
Could have played for Manchester United won trophies then to Newcastle for the dream. But no regrets proves he done the right move. Hell of a player!
Ferguson at the time said that Shearer wanted to join Man Utd but Jack Walker at Blackburn blocked the transfer so he had to go to Newcastle instead. If that story is true it would break Geordie hearts.
He has a good point. In my opinion which would you rather, a few medals and to say you won x, y, z....OR a statue of yourself outside the stadium? :)
Just think how unattainable his goal scoring records would have been with a stint in that Man U team..Scholes....Giggs....Beckham and Keane all supplying him the goods.
I think he would score 400 plus goals, won 7 premier league titles, and 3 champions league titles at least.
Lol tbf it didn't really matter. More than Shearer the one player i always regret not signing was Ronaldinho. Becks left saf wanted Ronaldinho. But his brother did us over and didnt let him come.
mate you still got ronaldo.
@Cool Dude I reckon he would, we were literally one of the best clubs in the world
@Cool Dude we were the best club in the world at the time. But we still got Ronaldo so it's ok
@Cool Dude if becks had joined Barca .then Barca would have stopped pursuing ronaldinho
@Martin England we would have signed him if becks had moved to barca
good on him
Playing at a local club as a kid u will realise how happy u will feel when u get ur first trophy even if it takes years rather than being a glory hunter.
When shearer is on match of the day and it comes up when he's speaking with that little tab that states "Premier league all time top scorer with 260 goals, 1 x Premier league", if he had joined United it would have said so much more, he must regret that, I know he says he doesn't but imagine shearer in the champions league with Scholes, Rooney, Ronaldo etc 🔥🔥🔥
More with Beckham and Giggs on the wings who would supply endless crosses for him.
He could've added 70 or more goals at least to that record and won everything possible in club football at the same time if he joined united
As a Man Utd fan of over 40 years, I wish he'd come to United instead of Blackburn. Just imagine a front pair of Shearer and Cantona!
shearer and cantona would be incredible
As a kid i loved shearer hes a legend! would have loved to have seen him in a United team along side van nistelrooy. but he was a newcastle player and i love that!
"I'd stood on the kid, on the terraces"
Amazing
Shearer and Batistuta. Cleanest and hardest strikers of the ball.
Legend! This man is the King of the Toon!
See this is the example of a player who is loyal to his club. Well at the end you don't win anything, clubs are ruthless, players who doesn't want to sign renewals or want only money well they are right
Could have easily gone to United and won trophies but playing for his hometown club meant so much more to him and fair play, I've had arguments with so many people who claim its all about how many medals a player has won when judging wether their a great or not, I've even heard so called experts say the same thing,totally irrelevant where Shearers concerned, I judge a player on individual ability,yes he only has the 1 premier league title but does that seriously stop him from being one of the greatest players to ever play in the Premier league?
Fergie must hate Geordies to be fair, the best around then were both in touching distance and both turned him down at the last minute.
Fergies United with Gazza and Shearer to add to the likes of Beckham, Giggs, Scholes would have been something.
I'd have paid just to see Shearer have to train with Keane every day 😂😂
For real
Brilliant answer.
Fair play to him.
Shearer and Gazza....we could’ve had them both.....maybe.Would’ve been a sight at Man utd.Fair play going home though.
So when you knew you were leaving Southampton and could pick and choose almost any club as your destination, what was the biggest factor in your decision? Your love for your boyhood club Newcastle or Jack Walker's chequebook @ Blackburn Rovers?
He knew Blackburn were going to win things, Kenny Dalglish was the manager for a reason. Blackburn were going places and Shearer was going to be a key part of it. Neither Newcastle nor Man United were in for him when he left Southampton.
@@FannyShmellar STOP with your excuses for him. By 1992 Shearer was the hottest property in English football. Branfoot @ Southampton was awash with enquiries. Shearer's agent could have contacted any club in England and negotiated a deal. Man United absolutely WERE in for him in 1992 you liar. Check your facts out!!!!!!! Shearer was allured by one thing and one thing only......And it wasn't this FAKE loyalty to Newcastle......You know, I know , everybody knows.......It was a big, fat, cheque book somewhere in Lancashire sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS bruh how can you still be salty decades later that Shearer didn’t sign with Man U lol. He won more at Newcastle then he ever could at Man U and if you don’t know what I’m talking about it just proves your a plastic fan lol
@@scottmotcheson7455 What you just said is irrelevant to the discussion. That proves you're thick pal 👍

some players dream of winning titles and silverware but the true fans dream of playing for the club they love. Have to respect that. Too much money and too many mercenaries these days concerned with paychecks and acting like prima donnas.
