[Archived] Shearer's New Book

[phillord]

Also what would anyone ask him if had 2 mins to chat to him?.

[Cocker]

Do you have a link to his new book? I take it its an auto biography?

If I could ask him something it would be - Do you fancy filling in while Santa's out.

[Mc Love]

I would ask him why he left Rovers for an average team? He could have went to Man Utd, or he could have stayed with rovers and won more trophies!!

I think i will buy the book

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Whats the odds all we get is a small footnote. It's always seems to me he tries to distance himself from us.

I thought Jack put a stop on him going to Man United?

[Mc Love]

Really lw?? Didnt know that, i guess we will learn more when the book comes out!

[grizfoot]

I thought Jack put a stop on him going to Man United?

I always thought he just rejected them.

I always thought he just rejected them.

Shearer was quoted at the time as saying that he spoke to United, but Jack told him he would never agree a fee with Man Utd. How true that is, we'll never know.

it's not the 'MOTD 2008 ANNUAL IS IT! ?' :ph34r:

After buying his last book about winning the Championship wth Rovers, which must be a contender for most boring sports book ever written I think I'll pass this time. It was memorable for the line about celebrating a Rovers win by going home and creosoting the garden fence.

I'll say this. If he ever records it as an audio book, steer well clear! That man's voice cures insomnia the world over.

The most boring voice award must goto Brian Robson

I think the reason he went to Newcastle was simply because it was his hometown team and he was a big fan, the only thing better than winning the league would be to help your own team to win it.

Agree 100% about this but there are some very bitter and twisted people out there (not just Rovers fans) that refuse to believe this

[shadsworth cloud]

i heard him on R5Live phone in and he said time and again how happy he was at rovers etc etc etc. he also said that he had agreed to sign for MU but at the last minute switched to Newcastle because it was his home town team, he's just an ordinary working class guy yawn yawn yawn etc

Agreed

Newcastle weren't average at the time though, they were challenging Man Utd for the title. Shearer could (and possibly should) have been the man that made the difference.

He wants to make his mind up. Stick with one story.

Well i met him very briefly as there were loads of people queueing just said thanks for 4 great years and that was it...book is very good..its an illustrated career so lots of great photo's and a bit of text ..very complimentary about rovers but does mention the booing when he came back.

So any links to where you can buy it (I have looked but there seems to be a few books out there already on him)

[phillord]

Alan Shearer: My Illustrated Career (Hardcover)..available on Amazon

[rover6]

I would ask him the exact physics behind his shocking scientific discovery - that light actually shines out from Michael Owen's backside.

Cheers. Will definintely be reading this.

How old was he when he left us? He could have signed for Man U or liverpool for a few years then helped Noocastle to prem glory, not that we will ever see that happen!

[Rover95]

I would ask him if a small part of him ever regretted leaving us when he did. I think the reason he got booed was that people were gutted that he went when he did and didn't really expect him to leave. I was distraught at the time and spent vast fortunes phoning teamtalk to get info on whether he'd actually left.

If he came back now I for one would give him a great reception - he was the best player I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt. Its disappointing though that he never seems to refer to playing for us when talking on MOTD - not sure why - I thought he would have great memories - more so than Newcastle where he never won anything but was so desperate to do so.

[Mc Love]

Phoning teamtalk, haha i remember that, i got a bollicking from my parents for ringing it up!
