Tooj Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Where were you when Shearer signed in 1996? I was sat in the house watching Olympic Grandstand when Gary Lineker made the announcement. Still amazing how it's one of the things I still vividly remember to this day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 At home, I was in the living room and saw it on TV then ran through to the kitchen and told my dad, except I was so excited it took me about 3 attempts to make him understand. Then we both ran to the bedroom and told my mam, who didn't care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I was playing football in the back garden and my mam opened the window and told me and my mate. I couldn't believe it. The phrase 'we're ganna win the league, like!' was actually appropriate at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Walking out of Eldon square onto Northumberland Street, there was a Chronicle stand where the bloke selling them was going beserk shouting about it. It felt like we were the best club in the world at that moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardsleymagic Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 At work when it came on the radio. I can honestly say that was the best afternoon at work i've ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 In Hertfordshire visiting family (as with every summer) and heard the announcement on the radio coming back from a thrilling day of shopping. I distinctly remember turning to my Spurs-supporting cousin and shouting in her face "JUST TRY AND STOP US NOW!" before being told-off by my Mam Was only 9 like, so that was the first I'd heard of it. Would have loved to have been at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Funnily I heard about it 5 minutes before I went to the bathroom for a, as then, totally unplanned wank. I remember spurts of joy. Or was I browsing teletext (remember that?) and it came up SHEARER SIGNS FOR NEWCASTLE UNITED FOR £15m More to follow..... I can never remember.

Kaizero Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Was sat at home, in front of the telly. Twisted between caring al ot and not really being that bothered, as I had just recently "discovered" football being 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Outside a castle on a hill in Ibiza & holiday rep said the following words "Alan Shearer has signed for Newcastle United for a world record fee". Shame we got humped in the Shield on the last day of my holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I haven't a clue. I must of been about 4 or 5 at the time so I didn't have a clue. Can remember where I was when we signed Micheal Owen, though. Still, just not the same... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
