Alan Shearer

“I don't know what I believe in. I try not to think about it. I don't want to think about it.”

“Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.”

“Management interests me at some stage in my life, I have always said that. When that will be I really couldn't tell you.”

“I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.”

“You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.”

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