Alan Shearer
Alan Shearer OBE (born 13 August 1970 in Gosforth, Northumberland) is an English former professional footballer who played for the English national team and three English Premiership clubs: Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

During his career he enjoyed successes at both club and international level and also in his personal life, becoming one of the most prolific strikers of all time. In total he scored 422 goals for club and country, averaging 25 goals a season for each of his 17 seasons as a player. Shearer currently holds the Premier League goalscoring record with 260 goals. He announced his international retirement following England’s exit from Euro 2000 but continued to play for Newcastle United until 2006, when he retired completely from football.

Since 2006 he has worked a football pundit for the BBC.There has been much speculation about Shearer’s future in the game, with many expecting to see him in a management/coaching role at Newcastle. However, he has stated that he will take some personal time off to “enjoy life” for the next couple of years.

He spent the summer of 2006 as one of the main pundits for the BBC’s coverage of the World Cup. Shearer famously encouraged Wayne Rooney to “stick one on” Cristiano Ronaldo after their much publicised incident during the quarter finals. Shearer received criticism in some quarters for the comment.Shearer currently works as a pundit for the BBC’s Match of the Day. In July 2006 he turned down a role with England, although he has expressed his desire to become a manager. He still needs to gain the required qualifications: he is currently working on the UEFA Pro Licence, required to manage a team in European competition.

Former Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd announced that, after Shearer finished the 2005-06 season as Newcastle’s caretaker assistant manager, he would become the club’s “Sporting Ambassador” for 2006-07. On December 4, 2006, Shearer was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Civil Law degree by the Northumbria University.
