Alan Shearer

Is that fair?

I think that's fair.

Great moments in games.

Yeah, he produced some moments of magic, didn't he?

Which we'll get on to that Man United game.

I played in that game when they beat Man United 5 and he scored that great goal from the edge of the box, turned and curled it in.

But he was as good as I've seen, David...

in terms of left foot and right foot going both ways, down the wing on the outside or coming in the inside right foot.

He was unbelievable at doing that.

I think his...

Probably his best season would have been 95, 96 before I got to Newcastle.

So I'm thinking... When I signed for Newcastle, I'm thinking I'm going to this team like so many attacking players.

We had me...

Les Ferdinand, Keith Gillespie on the right, David Ginola on the left.

We had Tino Asprea, we had Peter Badesley.

And I'm thinking, how on earth are we going to get all these players into that team?

I mean, Kevin tried his best to do that.

So I signed him and the season kicked off in the August.

I remember the season beforehand, looking at the TV, thinking, it'd be great to play in that team where Ginolo, winging balls in, left, right and centre, score so many goals.

So I got there in mid-August and I reckon I had to wait until the end of September for the first cross coming in.
