Alan Shearer Biography
Alan Shearer became the Geordie Messiah when he arrived at St James Park as a top-class footballer on 30th June 1996, and led the club to countless victories. His return to the club as temporary Manager, for their last 8 games of the season, has many fans hoping that he will be as successful off the pitch as he was on it! Childhood
Alan Shearer was born on 13th August 1970 in Newcastle, England. His father was a sheet-metal worker, who saw the values of hard-work and dedication, and passed this all on to Alan Jr. He played for Wallsend Boys Club (who also name Michael Carrick and Peter Beardsley as former players).
Trials with Newcastle United and Southampton led to a contract-offer from the Southern club, and Alan moved down to train with the club's youth team in 1986.
Early Career
A prolific goal-scoring career followed, with Shearer becoming top-scorer and club-legend at Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. His Premier League Winner's medal whe with Blackburn proved that he was right to spurn the offer from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
In 1996, he was given the chance to move to his boyhood club, and became a club hero - scoring 148 goals in 300 games. He was part of the immensley exciting Newcastle side, managed by Kevin Keegan, that pushed Manchester United all the way in 96/97, before eventually finishing as unlucky runners-up.
