Alan Shearer's Testimonial - Shearer's Penalty

[TheCstriker]

1:16 RIP Gary Speed :'(

[CardbordBoxHD]

Awkward if he missed.....

[oDannnYx]

i bet the gk didnt even want to save it haha:')

[nufcmarly]

truly a newcastle legend, makes me so happy watching this!

[leerud69]

i was at that match! lvl 7, sir john hall stand

[oDannnYx]

@leerud69 srsly? i was in the same stand haha :')

[Jake1985Nazar]

Did anybody really think he was gonna miss?

[Hoirkman1985]

Some questions: 1. Is a Testimonial something like a last Friendly Match ("Abschiedsspiel")? 2. Why did he came into the Match for only one Minute? 3. Why was Celtic chosen as opponent? Greetings from Germany

[NUFCMMA101]

@Hoirkman1985 1. It's a friendly a player gets to celebrate 10 years at a certain club. 2. Because he was injured at the time and they wanted to give him the send of he deserved. 3. Shearer said in an interview that he had always been fond of Celtic, don't know the reason

[Hoirkman1985]

@NUFCMMA101 Thx : )

[Karaibrahimoglu]

Is er now scoreboard in this stadium?

[18PacWest]

Recently I have worn a Newcastle United shirt from 2000-01 and of course my dream is to be a team captain and a regular free kick and penalty taker for the Black and White stripes like the iconic striker Alan Shearer.

[500ncb]

celtic are gentlemen by giving them the penalty.

[s1monz]

Shearer was an amazing penalty taker, Euro 96 v Holland, vs Spain, and against Germany: All dispatched brilliantly. World Cup 98, 2 against Argentina, one in normal time, and one in the shootout. A true legend.

[JordanNicholsonCUFC]

Brings a tear to my eye. What a great way to end a great career. He wouldn't have had that fantastic atmosphere if he had signed for man utd instead of newcastle.

[chrisiesim1]

same old shearer always scoring......RIGHTS!

[johnafer]

Im not a geordie but i have to say what a legend and a ambassador to the english game!

[ih8mcfly]

did celtic deliberately give the penalty? and did the goalkeeper deliberately dive the wrong way?

[mehmetinho9]

Lol I am the one who tackled him

[VivaLaRy]

What'a bow out.

[RiistaB33]

same old shearer always scoring!

[Jimmybobby1994]

can you imagine if david marshall(i think) had saved that.

[JBRowan]

a legend he lead us back up

[TheCrammyKid]

sanshyum if an mackem had of been in nets it wud have been the easiest penalty in the history of the world

[JoeSW88]

I support Liverpool but Shearer is a beast!

[sandhujatt91]

i'd say one of the best moments in his life.. a perfect ending : ).. its a dream =))

NUFC 4 LIFE

[69eliamo69]

[x1881x]

[Gabzerelli5]

[sensioandgreedo]

CRACK

[Scotty802]

Best game iv ever been to in my life - Best atmosphere ever dont think ill ever go to a game with a bigger buzz than this

[mrbirdguy]

[dkwildy123]

legend

[sanshyum]

would ov been better if sorenson woz in goal safc 4 life F.T.M

[Predinator2k7]

When the commentator says

"The last enterance of the Gladiator"

that gives me chills, its so fitting.

[JONOCALDWELL]

what does his 'honours won' say..1 premiership...

[scs5db]

Hats off to celtic for letting us equalise then letting shearer score the winner

[luigimad09]

i luv newcastle unt but u culd tell the game woz fixed

[gunufc]

ZeMartyParty u are so correct, and it was a COOLY taken penalty,

[arelius536]

really bad taken penalty

[luigimad09]

duh he woz injured

[Newcastlefans]

wt the hell u are talking about?

[ZeMartyParty]

I love it how Man Utd fans always relate to what people have won.

You could never say you had a player as good as Shearer. As he stuck around when it got shit, which was quite a bit any Geordie fan will say.

Thats what makes him such a good player, he stayed loyal, scored the most goals in premiership history (Which in my opinion, is something Man Utd will NEVER have over us. One of our born and bred Geordies holds the record. Man Utd scum will never take it.)

This is the reason he is loved.

[LisaLovesTonic]

im a celtic fan

its good that we done that for a legend though

everyone deserves to win for the fans and themselves in their testimonial

well done celtic and shearer

[daniel0212]

was i the only one crying? *sniff*

[Longlivenewcastleutd]

I dont think the penalty was meanted

[samhogy]

My God, that was sooo staged, but still brilliant.

[jpjr67]

if u wanna talk about real legends try kenny dalglish , had his mits on the european cup 3 times won more trophies than keane could ever dream of.....a true superstar truly glittering career....roy keane never even played a european cup final.

[arelius536]

haha

[wickedwhiteace]

have you lol

[unreal030]

6-0,5-1.

fucking Geordie cunts.

Keano= A treble winning legend

Shearer= Overrated Bald Pundit, that ACHIEVED NOTHING.

[corroboree0808]

Shearer was the best ever.

Nice to see Ferdinand, Lee etc there tho. Very emotional night, lol!

[UKSlayerX5]

Why do people get offended when teams allow these things to happen at testimonials? Are you saying you would go and beat newcastle 5-0 at their farewell party to their legandary striker? Well any team that does that would see a little bit of a drop in their fan base...

[connord94]

Same Old Shearer, Always Scoring.

An OBE isn't enough, SIR Shearer should be knighted.

[Quaidy10]

"Last entry of the Gladiator." That is the best line of commentry i have ever heard. I am a Mansfield Town fan, and was at the FA Cup game where he equalled the record. He was my first ever favourite player. I'm still proud to say I was there when he equalled Milburn's record. I stood up and applauded him too. Alan Shearer, Englands greatest ever footballer. You are sorely missed.

[veryaddicted]

'It was a dive'

'I'd be embarassed'

STFU man!

Charity occasion - raises money AND gives fans a way to see off their hero

Get over it!

[No1Tesco]

Quality English Striker

[scottryan1989]

i am a mackem and i av to admit shearer was class like best english striker ive ever seen

[sirjonski]

yes it wasfixed, but it was a friendly, who the f*ck cares.

If shearer had of been fit and was able to play the whole match, then yeh i would agree the match shouldnt be fixed, but i the circumstances, it was great

[leecfc1]

a clear dive

[Conservative1992]

the perfect exit for Shearer..

[bhoy90]

basically match fixing? i'd be embarassed if that was me.

[Geordie1927]

I love the way Sir Les rolls around like all these poncy foreign players do!

[stewiek]

sob sob. even if it was orchestrated, it surely was a magical moment.

[markeyday123]

im a Safc fan and i hate shearer but i have to admit it he is class. I am going to say the ultimate sin. Well done Alan! NUFC YOU KNOW WE ARE COMING BACK TO PREM ONE DAY! POSSIBLY EVEN THIS YEAR. KEANO IS THE ULTIMATE LEGEND!

[divlino]

TOTAL FUXXING DIVE!! only kidding .C'mon the hoops.Love the commentator analysing the way he sent boruc the wrong way as if it wasnt already decided.HAHA

[durham65]

What a fucking embarassment that is

[stevietoon]

legend

[jamiemaude]

You'll never find a player to match this man.

SAME OLD SHEARER, ALWAYS SCORING!

[Ncity69COD]

brilliant

[Pentyrion]

the legend...

Football has lost the greatest player of all time

We will never forget you, Alan Shearer
