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

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

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

My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

If people are going to write bad things about me because it makes news, I can brush it aside because I've had this for 10 years. I'm big enough and strong enough to cope with it. It's what comes with being Alan Shearer.

If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.

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.
