Alan Shearer

Who's the defence when you played out?

I'm trying to remember.

Warren Barton right, John Beresford left, Steve Howie and Philippe Albert and maybe Darren Peacock in there as well.

Yeah, I get you.

I get you.

get your point I think you would look at the back four now of Newcastle or the players anyway and you would probably take three or four that are there now and if you could add that and mix that yeah but then you're getting into a debate I think you're getting that up top because they're still a bit short there

I think your place is safe.

Although Anthony Gordon has.

He's scored more goals in the Champions League season than I did.

But he's not really an out-and-out nine, is he?

No, he's not.

He's make-do nine.

No, and then you're getting into Beardsley and Ferdinand and all these... I mean, Rob Lee in the midfield and David Batty and all of these guys.

So...

Yeah, it would be a good debate if he could mix and match.

But what I would say is Eddie's delivered.

Eddie's done what these... I mean, when you come to Newcastle and you realise and they talk about the amazing Bobby Robson, as I said, he saved my career.

And you know how much I think of Kevin Keegan, who's my hero.

But when you come up here and listen to the fans talk about and talk in glowing terms about those two, Eddie's done something that those two couldn't.

He delivered that trophy.
