Alan Shearer

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.

Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

I get butterflies before I go out to say hello at a party.

You have the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Wesleyans, represented in each school, and they are each to take alternate days.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.
