The True Geordie Podcast is back with True Geordie's boyhood hero Alan Shearer. The striker played for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United and the England national team. Shearer was signed for a world record fee of £15 Million in 1996 and is Newcastle's and the Premier League's record goalscorer. He was named Football Writers' Association Player of the Year in 1994 and won the PFA Player of the Year award in 1995. In 1996, he was third in the FIFA World Player of the Year awards. In 2004 Shearer was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players. Shearer scored 283 league goals in his career, including a record 260 in the Premier League with a record 11 Premier League hat-tricks, and a total of 422 in all competitions including international at all levels. Until his retirement from international football in 2000, he appeared 63 times for his country and scored 30 goals. Today he tells his story to True Geordie and Laurence McKenna.

Greaves and Shearer. Best 2 English strikers of all time.
Rename this a pair of bollox
Loved that! Only thing, after about 20 mins he morphed into Heisenberg and I couldn't get it out of my head then. ;0)
these pair proper gawkin at 5:38 the respect there 🥰
3 yrs late but that was brilliant.. Shearer was a god.
That last bit when you thanked him, tears, fucking ballin!! He is my idol and nowt to do with me also being a geordie 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Gaza proper!
Your 🚢 will come back Rafa thanks 4 playing pool 🏊♀️
What a guy
The fact that Andy Carroll was meant to be the next alan shearer 😂
B
As a Man U supporter and patriot,,,,,,shearer ...LEGEND 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
how’ve i just seen this then
Great interview -thanks. It wasn't Sir Bobby who "discovered" Ronaldo - that was legendary Brazil winger Jairzinho. Still, being Bobby Robson's first choice for Barcelona over Ronaldo must have been a great feeling for Alan Shearer. Sir Bobby though - he certainly managed his fair share of brilliant centre forwards - Shearer, Ronaldo, Romario...
Legend. 👏👏👏
Loves himself and that’s why he’s the best. Natural born winner who only ever cared about scoring goals and winning. That’s what makes him the best striker in Toon and Prem history.
Did you say Kenny daglish was the best player in the world at one time? Mate he was never even the best player in Europe ! The nearest he came to European was when he came second to Michelle Platini, please get your facts right
Alan has such a presence, he speaks and you listen...it might help that he looks like Walter White. If Klopp is the normal one then Shearer is the 'normaller one'
The tart cracker noticeably film because hall luckily continue before a elfin fog. keen, ill encyclopedia
Shearer oozes class
? Blackburn underdog jack gave then £100 million ?
Fk me I did not know it was live
Match of the day
This is great 👍
Wow just watched it now, what a good honest man Alan is....truly an amazing man
This was so good I just subscribed 👍
We don't love rooney, what's this clown talking about
The watery reading morphologically screw because blue systematically end underneath a savory dresser. fast, dysfunctional call
Such a humble and down to earth man
That was a great listen well done everyone involved
Newcastle’s not a big club? More like been ruined by Mike Ashley
Even as a Scot. Canna help but like Shearer. Seems a proper decent fella
Sky had their pundits do their best premier league team of all time. I still can't believe Alan Shearer didn't get into it.
It's funny how you mention paying younger players less with salary caps, that should not be an issue with anybody imo. Otherwise how would you explain them thinking wage caps for minimum wage work is acceptable based solely on age
Big al
Alan, all I got to say is "wae'"
aye man
Not gonna lie, impressed with Brian's stamina!
Only one shearer
Fking Legend!!!!!!!!!!!
Shearers one of them guys you’re not nervous around because he’s so welcoming and nice, loved and respected by every club too, rare you find that.
4:21 Me at everyone who complains about COVID restrictions.
Should have played for Man utd, could have won everything.
paul ferris was shearers physio !!? wow id never have guessed that on a million years 🤔🤣
footballers are stupid, they trade health for massive wealth, the worst deal in the world
Are you mad, footballers are some of the healthiest fittest people on the plantes
I didn’t know that he was such a gentleman!
It should be English law that all pints for Alan Shearer are free.
I would say that the first injury he got at Blackburn in the 92/93 season was a major reason why England didn’t qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Missing the goals that he would have got really affected us.
He’s bang on about the way it was back in the 80’s and 90’s with the apprentice players. Cleaning the boots, dressing rooms, stands etc gave them a grounding and a respect for hard work. Too many young players now are millionaires by 20 years old. Where’s your motivation then?? Ok some young players don’t care about the money and want to be the best player they can be but too many don’t.
I remember to watch this Newcastle against Barcelona, that day Shearer didn't play, I guess, but it didn't matter because Faustino Asprilla appeared to score 3 goals.....
Billy Whitehurst please ;-)
30:00 I remember hearing when Giggs made the first team, people like robson tricked him into asking Ferguson for a company car and was told to pipe down. Now they’d just buy a fleet of cars
Wtf is that noise at @ is that someone attempting to hold back a laugh? Someones got a dirty mind lol
City fan, but gotta admit Shearer all time best striker the PL has ever seen. And I still stand by it, even after Aguero retires. Just think Shearer has that edge.
I am a Manchester United fan but I have to say I love this man what a legend
Im life long saints fan and I remember watching you play with Danny Wallace and all his brothers lol I still love you Alan and to me your what I feel is a true real man. Was gutted when you went with Tim flowers to Blackburn. Its great you got to play for Newcastle ( the only city in England i never been oops ) I think all ur accents are so attractive.
True geordie looking at Shearer like a fat man who hasn't had a chippy for 2 weeks
Gotta love that SCOTLAND goal
Love Alan's honesty, really enjoyed this podcast. Although I've never been a Newcastle supporter I respect talent when I see it & Alan was & still is one of the greatest strikers this country has ever had.
GOD
Was Alan Shearer like Lewandowksi in terms of playin style ?
Yes but better
Where did Shearer actually grow up? Why isn't he a proper Geordie?
He is a Geordie from gosforth
Could listen to shearer talk for hours
Dana White looks ill
This has to be one of th best podcasts true geordie has ever done but the sound quality is abysmal
Best podcast I’ve seen hands down
People Never underestimate your dreams? Your Only person, who can make them happen. Brian this just unreal man. you got to sit down and live your and every Geordie who hasn’t meet there hero Alan Shearer happen. My Dream is to meet my idol Andy Cole. This podcast is my top 5
Did I hear that right "Dr David Dandy" 😂😂😂
His record will never be broken if Rooney scored as many as he did and didn't break it just shows what a machine he was grew up in a great strikers era Fowler was our Messiah shearer was the Geordies
It's the true geordie alan shearer and dennis the menace
I used to respect Alan Shearer....
As a long time Man United, even I've got to give respect to this man's talents as a footballer.
He's just a sound guy. You can have a good chat with him about most stuff. I wouldn't mess with him mind. I can imagine he'd give you a sound thrashing if you took the piss.
This Laurence guy, I like him but he's a 5th wheel.
Fantastic piece 👌👌🙌🙌
It annoys me how geordies slightly alter there accent once they’re famous, everyone I know from Newcastle ‘proper geordies’ don’t speak like shearer
@Lemons44 Your first sentence was a giveaway: "It annoys me how geordies slightly alter there accent...." Personally, it annoys me more to hear Brits using Americanisms like 'figured" than it does to hear differences in accent. When people call me "Bud" or "Bro" in a Geordie, Yorkshire, Lancashire or Cockney accent, I find that more annoying than the already ubiquitous "mate" or"pal" from people I've never met or can't be bothered to use my name. And don't get me on about "awesome".... As for Scousers, Cockneys and other accents that you didn't grow up listening to, there will be tons of them who do what you claim happens only with Geordies. It's just that your ears are less finely attuned than they are to your own accent, that's all. Most Scousers and Yorkshireman can't tell the difference between a Tyneside and a Wearside accent, and most outsiders wouldn't know the difference between say a Sheffield and a Doncaster accent. To be honest, even the True Geordie himself sometimes "waters down" his accent.... but he doesn't quite lapse into "Gazzoid or Waddlesque RP Geordie", and neither, to my ear, does Alan Shearer.
@twangbarfly I don’t see how you figured I was upset ? I don’t alter my accent when speaking to foreigners, if they can’t understand me they don’t have to speak to me.. I wouldn’t change how I speak so someone could understand me but that’s just me. I don’t hear many scousers, cockneys etc altering their accent in the slightest which is why I’m confused as to why geordies do seeing as scousers, cockneys have very strong accents like us geordies.
@Lemons44 That's you. Do you speak the language of many of the countries you travel to? Do you speak a lot of English to foreign speakers? Are you in situations where you realise that people can't follow your full-on regional accent? If so, what do you do? There's different levels of accent. Considering his punditry work, I don't think Shearer's accent is outlandish. I'm prepared to bet that after a spell in your home region, your accent becomes far more regionally marked than it was before you got back. Same if you mingle with people from your region when you are in some other place. That's just how it is - no point in getting upset.
@twangbarfly I travel a lot and have stayed in different countries for years and my accent hasn’t changed one bit, one of the hardest accents to change is the geordie accent, I know plenty of people who have lived in other countries like Australia etc. For 10+ years and there accent hasn’t changed in the slightest, he’s totally altering his accent and you can tell, same with Steve Bruce, willne, Cheryl Cole, all of them
That's probably because you 've never lived anywhere else.... if you move away from where you're brought up, your accent is almost bound to change... it's not about being a "snob" Except for Sting of course :-)
Should’ve asked him what was it like playing with Santiago munez
Always knew in my mind he was gonna be an England manager...... 37 years old now still wondering why this man does not have the respect he deserves and the job a generation wishes he has
@Freedom Of Nomad read what I wrote again friend
SHEEEEEEERAAHHHH
ONLY 1 medal NEVER DONE anything IN European football like Henrik Larsson king of kings so FUCK HIM and ALL THE Newcastle fans YOUS ARE NOTHING HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA
I think Alan shearer is greenscreened on 😂
Who the fuck is the nerd in the chequered shirt !!!
@Terry Woodfine stfu and enjoy the podcast. If not then click off it
The co-host of the podcast you're watching, which brings me to my question: Who the fuck is Terry Woodfine!!!
There is not a hope in hell that Shearer would knock Keane out, shut up you fanny.
Can you imagine him going to parents night at school .
😂
Alan shearer looks like so many people’s dad 😂
How tf has he got Alan shearer on this 🤣
OHHH GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY SPEED
He called me a fucking prick. Great commentary skills as a pundit...too bad they don't serve onions on the tv booth
What ???
As a geordie I love watching shearer finish
dear youtube... already watched it stop recommending thanks.
Sunderland, famous for Newcastle, was discovered in 1946 by Hitler
Hitler died in 45 ya little nakka
Great player, should of signed for Manchester United though! One premier league title for him wasn’t nearly enough.!
That title win with Rovers is a hell lot of of value tho
The biggest career mistake in the game of football.
That’s what your mother thinks of you
I have to say Alan always comes across as a really genuine nice bloke.
I respect Alan Shearer for his humbleness and goalscoring. Wish my club Manchester United had signed him
@arab susej some do
@SuperRed Fan 15 nobody plays for the badge anymore its all about money nowadays
@arab susej loyalty is rare nowadays
He had offers coming in from top teams everywhere but he stayed at Newcastle true loyalty
Watching this again..
Not a Newcastle fan. Not a fan of the Premier League. Not even British. But a huge fan of True Geordie. And now a fan of Alan Shearer.
