kingxlnc Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I think perhaps the fact that Keegan is a hopeless romantic and wears his heart on his sleeve naturally endears him that much more, than Shearer who is quite a cold logical steely determined personality. For how much Shearer achieved in the game and at Newcastle too definitely makes him a legend, it really can’t be disputed. Keegan marries up superstar status (2 x Ballon Dor) with a down to Earth quality where he is a man of the people no matter their class. Much of that love and understanding of the area developed during his playing spell where as part of his commercial contract he had to speak at working mens clubs around Newcastle, as well as the fact it was his dads club. Shearer is also superstar status who sacrificed but is more aware of it in that sense. The one thing he isn’t is down to Earth, and don’t blame him, who is in this day and age, when you’ve achieved even a quarter of what he has? Even in these motd top 10 podcasts he does it’s become a running joke how much he selects himself in the top 10, no matter the subject. Keegan is the last vestige of a bygone era for one, and his willingness to come to a club at the very bottom and do his part in elevating it to its potential is what people will never forget. Whereas it’s hard to say if Shearer had chosen Man U or gone to Barca etc that he would have come ‘home’ to a struggling NUFC as he was so driven by personal success.

Superior Acuña Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 How good was it having our captain and main striker being a geordie that's consistently one of the best strikers in the league. And very little fear he'd ever leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Quote Alan Shearer’s statue will shortly be moved onto stadium ground, close to Sir Bobby Robson’s and “Nine Bar” will be turned back into “Shearer’s”. From the interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Anyone else think he looked and sounded rather uncomfortable discussing the Howe effect on MOTD last night? He’d normally be buzzing with a run like this but there’s barely any enthusiasm there. I think he’s dreading being asked the obvious question.

Yeah, noticed that too and how they referred to improvements over the "Benitez era" when discussing Everton but it was "since Howe took over" when discussing our massive night and day improvement.
