Alan Shearer

As I said, he was one of the best getting the ball, turning and going that way, but then turning the other way and going down on the left-hand side and whipping balls.

And he was brilliant at it.

I think to get the best out of David, you had to give him a, I don't know, a free reign.

Something like Mo Salah.

Like you just say to him, go and do your stuff in that end of the pitch where you're going to cause that much damage.

Because if you asked him to go the other way and defend then...

not going to get the best out of him.

And Kevin, I think, was, Kevin Keegan was able to get the best out of him, I think, that season, 95, 96.

Yeah.

He's my hero.

He's my hero.

I just think he was like, because we went into training and everything was small-sided games.

There was hardly anything structured.

And he used to let all the fans come in, thousands of fans at training every day, watching us play five, six, seven a side every day.

And he basically went, there you go, guys, go and play.

And that's what he did on match days.

Genuinely thought that whatever they scored, we would score more.

That was his philosophy.

With his ability, and I think I'm right in saying this, he only scored, his top scored six goals in one season was the best he ever hit.

And I think for someone with that amount of ability, he should have scored more goals.
