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.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.

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.

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