Alan Shearer

You know when you say it's just a penalty I mean it's just a penalty at Old Trafford against your biggest rivals He won the penalty as well and the vast majority of the ground are praying for you to miss it

Definitely a penalty.

Then you're under huge pressure.

You know that rivalry, Micah?

You've obviously played for City.

The rivalry, I guess, is bigger Man Utd-Liverpool than it is Man Utd-Man City.

You don't know.

That's the standard that you were chasing when City came on to the noisy neighbours, as Sir Alex said.

That was the push to try and catch those, wasn't it?

Especially after a match.

You think you're fine, then you hit the stairs the next morning and your knees start negotiating early retirement.

Well, yeah.

You did your job then.

Can you imagine the feeling, though, for him, Gerrard, then scoring a hat-trick?

You're a kid growing up and you've seen all these greats playing in these derbies and then the local boy goes and then scores a hat-trick against the rivals.

I mean, you know that feeling.

Definitely, yeah, because everyone who you're being brought up with and all the kids you used to knock around with at school and play on all those parks could only dream of playing in the derby, let alone scoring a hat-trick in a derby.

Have you scored a hat-trick in a derby?

Not against Sunderland, no.

Scored against them and missed against them, before you mention it.
