Alan Shearer

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.

He delivered that first domestic trophy since 1955.

He's coming up to end of this season.

I think he's coming up to five years, which Bobby did and Kevin did.

And Bobby obviously was sacked.

And for whatever reason, Kevin left after that.

I mean, I know Kevin was a brilliant player for Newcastle as well and came in very difficult circumstances.
