The greatest Premier League striker ever? 💪
Thierry Henry.
Definitely the best English striker. So far...
Greatest premier league goalscorer no doubt records speak for them self 👏
Yup
one of, best english striker ever.
Not gonna lie, these are probably the best things to watch on TH-cam at the minute.
100%
well that’s simply not true is it
Im glad you didn't lie that time
Why would we think you'd lie about that? Now I think you're lying.
you're probably a united fan aren't you.
I like how he says "my first goal was down there against Wimbledon", without mentioning the fact it was on his debut from 25 yards, and he stuck it in the top corner. What a legend.
Goal machine 👍
Humble be bloke Alan
League debut, the charity shield is classed as a competitive game 🤔
So humble and down to earth. So much respect for him.
@@anthonylloyd8557 incorrect. Home debut.
You have to give Neville credit for this show.
The concept is simple but works perfectly and Neville is truly exceptional at this style of interviewing.
I always thought Gary Neville was an absolute twat when he was playing but since he went into punditry I've gotten a lot more respect for him. Whatever you think about his opinions, at least he's honest.
Yeah he's a very professional guy
@@laernulienlaernulienlaernu8953 except when it comes to Ole Gunnar
@@charlielad6124 coz Ole's such a nice guy, nobody has the heart to tell him he's a shite manager.
Why doesn't he try and become a manager ? oh wait "
Ian Wright would be a quality interview
Wright becks Alex the list goes on
This is Ian interviewing Dennis Bergkamp th-cam.com/video/twgVAkT2LV0/w-d-xo.html
Ian Wright was a guest on the True Geordie podcast, recommend giving that a watch if you want an in-depth interview with him!
@@xXxbally661xXx Adding to this, check out his podcast it's cracking.
@@xXxbally661xXx Glad you typed that. I gave up on TG years ago but this will be well worth a watch so cheers.
Who would have thought that Neville would be such an amazing presenter? He's just so good. He knows what he's talking about, he has inside knowledge, he has a rapport with every player he talks with, he listens and asks the right questions. He's just so watchable, and makes all the players so watchable. Shearer used to get bagged for being "boring" and I know he's done a lot of work as a pundit since that, but he certainly isn't boring in this, and I think a lot of that is to do with Neville drawing people out. The interview with Keane was also really good.
couldn't agree more, much better than being a coach huh
Take you're tongue out of his arse
This is such a banging channel perfect blend between sky’s professionalism and TH-cam’s casualness
I didn't know Mr Shearer's statue was just outside the stadium grounds , that really is petty and pathetic by Ashley. Thanks for another fun interview.
Yeah it's terrible. He also renamed Shearer's bar (which is in the stadium) because he's a petty man child
Commented this before watching the full thing 🤦🏻♂️
It gets worse mate the area the statue is on used to be a public toilet before the tore it down for the statue.
It just shows the world how petty Ashley was...at times it was like he was doing it on purpose for criticism he received from fans, he also changed the stadium name to sports direct arena. Cannot believe it looking back.
@@geegee3826 I think after a while he just thought fuck it I'll do whatever suits me and while that may work in a ruthless business environment it doesn't work in football.
utd did great without him during this era but shearer at utd would of been unreal .. fair play to him going to his boyhood club though
Can’t deny Man United would’ve won even more had he gone tho, 100% more of a force than they were in Europe
United would have won the 1997 champions league with Shearer.
He did play for United...
@@steventelfer9530 yeah, a shit United
The two biggest regrets I have about players not signing for United are Shearer in 1996 and Brian Laudrup when he left Rangers on a free in 1997 and went to Chelsea...Both would have been fantastic at United
Ruthless goalscorer and thoroughly decent human being.
One touch shot …. Best I’ve ever seen
He'll stop and talk to anyone he's a top man
You've never met him, all you are judging him on is his tv appearances which are staged. Shearer is not universally liked in his own stomping ground, he doesn't even know the working hours of the working class... 7-5, 7-6.... no Alan 9-5, 8-5,
@@chipbuttytime3396 ok I've never met him 🤔🤔🤔 I know from personal experience he's great
Lies again? Never Touch Goal
Hated him for turning us at united down , however I think he's a decent bloke who just loved his club. Respect to him.
Us lol. You have no connection to man Utd at all plastic
@@muchiosgracias4 you’re such a moody low life 😂,
Hated him for turning you down 😂 the entitlement
@@muchiosgracias4 muppet
@@muchiosgracias4 Why is your opinion important? You subscribe to a Katy Perry channel ffs..How old are you?...16?
As a Newcastle fan, this interview really touches the heart and brings back sweet memories. We may have won nothing, but it was fun then. Crazy at times but fun most of the time.
Newcastle in the mid 90s was pretty fun to watch! Kevin Keegan at the helm, Les Ferdinand-Shearer scoring goals for fun, the two runner ups (behind ManU twice ffs), and also Roy Keane red card vs Alan Shearer in St James Park! 🤣
As a football fan, of any team, you have to respect the loyalty he has to his team. Could’ve been main player in the treble winning team but chose to elevate his club instead of elevating his own career. Mad respect for this one
Yes he loved Newcastle so much he signed for Southampton at the other end of the country, then despite Newcastle wanting him to return he signed for Blackburn thats loyalty.
Well said
im a Liverpool fan but absolutely love Shearer. My best ever tournament was Euro 96 and he was at his peak. legend
Love that advice from his parents. Same exact advice my parents gave/give to me: Do what you want to do, so long as you work hard.
Everybody works hard. Working smartly and efficiently is the real key.
@@cjjohnson353 “Everybody works hard…” 🤣
I don't think so it's a good advice... dreaming to be a singer or footballer or performer is good but not many have the obsessiveness to make it to the top .. it requires an obsessiveness and craziness beyond what normal people can ever think of ... get a good engineering degree would be much better fot a lot of people
Working smartly and efficiently AND working hard is better yet again. The real winners in this world all have something in common... they work harder than everybody else. Hard work and passion can be moulded, it can get you a long way and allow somebody to realize their potential. The advice from his parents is fantastic.
@@grealish2234 it is good advice though “ do what you want to do” I take that as it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you’re happy doing it.
Alan Shearer! Best striker of a ball I’ve ever seen, strong as an ox, great in the air !! A great leader … most important of all .. a proper GEORDIE
Agree lad
When I think of strikers that could absolutely wallop the ball, I think of Shearer, Batistuta, Hasselbaink.
I love Alan Shearer interviews, so humble and honest, big shame he doesn't want to go back into management as I think he'd do a great job
Shearer is pure class 👏🏼
Shearer the greatest out and out centre forward in Premier League history
Shearer would be worth at least £100 million in today’s market! He had everything and can only imagine what he could of done in a Man Utd shirt. Great player
100 million????...you can at least double that, in 1996 he was the world's greatest centre forward!
100 as a minimum,, utd fan
And the rest…
£250m more like 😄
100 mil would buy his heading abilities in todays game
Great show. Gary Neville doing a great job. Shearer for me the very best Premier League striker. Sure he would have finished with a lot more goals had he been at United with the service he would have had.
Henry best all day long
@@stephenwilliams87 no
Always look forward to watching these The Overlap becoming one of the best footie channels on TH-cam
City fan here and I absolutely love Alan shearer. One of the most loved players in the world, playing for his boyhood club beats winning all the trophies in the world
@@Kjohn34 he don’t love spurs like shearer loves newc
@@Kjohn34 his boyhood club was arsenal and shearer definitely doesn’t regret it. Anyone who loves their club would understand that
@@Kjohn34 I disagree completely but not arguing about it.
@@Kjohn34 Arsenal, there’s pictures of him in an Arsenal kit at the invincibles title parade in 04.
Not old enough to have seen his matches, but boy this interview compelled me to watch some of his highlights. Absolute Legend!
Shearer is basically Harry Kane but 1000 times better.
@@ramzino9331 do you not mean Harry kane is basically Shearer but a 1000 times worst🤔
He was doing Haaland levels of goalscoring. Unstoppable
Shearer scored a significant percentage of my favourite goals ever, as a United fan he was a nightmare in the 90s. His volleys were legendary, at the time I remember thinking he was like a better version of Mark Hughes.
Telling ya mate, unreal . No pace, can't beat a man. Hold it up turn an bang. Headers amazing an volleys. Equal to Henry an for you aguero slightly better I would say . Different but better.
The Overlap is a gift from Sky to TH-camrs. Gary Neville does great work in these.
I feel like Alan and Gary are examples of loyalty that don’t seem to exist in football these days. It has me hoping youngsters like Reece James, Saka etc can stick around at their club for years to come and get to that top level. It’s definitely something special that football needs going forward.
Were there teams interested in Neville though
Fair enough but still that fact that he grew in Manchester, supported United, played his entire career there, and to this day backs and supports the club is something that is very rare if not non existent in modern football.
@@abhinavt8674 lol, if Everton went for Phil who was a poorer player than Gary, I'm sure someone wouldve
@@zachdalton9361 plastics like you don't understand what it's like to play for your local team. Insecure outsiders. Pathetic
Greenwood lol
Shearer really is a class act
Shilling for a murderer, classy
Still the only English player I'd put my house on in front of goal. A confidence and mental strength that you don't see very often.
Michael Owen not a bad shout too, might be bland but the guy could play when he wasn't hurt
Yeah he's got amazing self-discipline and self control.
If I've got my house on it then 100% I'm turning to one man and one man only and that's G O D. Robbie Fowler. Easily the best finisher I've seen
What a legend man, love hearing more from big Al, my hero as a kid, great seeing Gary and him chat as you can tell there is a genuine friendship and real mutual respect there. What a player he was, imagine if he'd have gone United with the likes of Beckham, Giggs, Irwin and Neville whipping balls in all day... Jesus Christ man....
Im disgusted, I never knew it came so close, didn't realise until this video he actually met with Fergie. Would've won more trophies and got a few more champions leagues
Gary, do one of these with Denis Law, he seems to be in decent health still and would be a great interview subject i feel.
Recently returned to watching football after many years away. Loving it. This video series enriches the game tremendously. Well done Gary and team. Alan Shearer is another example of English players that are great both on and off the pitch.
Playing for your hometown clubs means more than trophies. Trophies are just a bonus.
I need one of these a day. Such a good insight on somebody who doesn’t really crave the limelight. Top player and a top man is Shearer
Alan shearer you absolute legend ...im a stoke fan at heart but when you were playing i went to Blackburn and then Newcastle with you...proper glory hunter hahah ..what a player and what a guy !!
As a Chelsea fan I admire Shearer a lot
hes one of the most arrogant men on the planet. Egotistical. Everything that good north east lads aren't
Well done
Shearer at Blackburn is one of the best strikers I've ever seen
Gary Neville has great craic doing these interviews.Can't be classed as work..great content.
Absolutely... The greatest premier league striker...better than anyone, he had everything. I've never seen any better.
Another great Gary Neville interview. He'll have his own talk show at this rate on TV. A natural
When Alan didn't sign for Manchester United I hated him. He was the very best and he had strong competition. I doubt that we will ever see a striker as good as Alan again. Very down to earth and passionate about football. A very likeable guy and I wish him all the best. This is the best player interview by miles.
We did OK with Andy Cole though .
I’ll give Neville some credit, he is very entertaining and a great interviewer
These uploads are my favourite on TH-cam in recent times
I live and work in Newcastle and Shearer is spot on, I love this City. The weather is brutal but the people are warm and welcoming.
I travel for work all over the uk. Have to say, Newcastle people are the most friendly people I've met.
Newcastle in top 5 back in the days was immense but shearer's goal against Everton in 2002 what a goal!
i was there. with my mate who was an Everton Fan. Yobo sent off and we struggled till that magical last few minutes.
@@theyumyums so was I.. I remember people were on their feet soon as the ball left his boot. We all knew the ball was going in.
My favourite goal if all time. An absolutely proper rifle of a volley!
That goal was out of this world
Alan Shearer premier league legend but 260 goals record goal scorer 15 years still won't be broken for maybe at least 5 years but at the moment he's a living legend and Newcastle as a city never been there but the passion is real.
If he didn't have a 3 year out with injuries he would of got 300+ goals easily
This was a brilliant watch! Congratulations to Gary and team!
Gary, can you get the most underrated Premier League player of all time on?
Former team mate and number 3, Dennis Irwin
Great shout 👍🏼
Never injured
Great set piece
Fellow cork man
😂😂😂
Never injured
Thank you boys. Possibly the most revealing and absorbing interview I've seen. Great job.
Love Shearer. Absolute hero. Gave me so much joy watching him through the years cannot thank him enough. Great piece by Sky.
Had one of the best keepers at the time too Shay Given .
Nah Shay was a top quality shot stopper but was never elite level . He never ever came for crosses , he always sat on his line . Sometimes u need ur keeper to command his area n that's something he didn't n couldnt do . How many goals do teams concede from crosses when he's in goal ? Guaranteed th percentage goes up with Shay in goal . Top shot stopper but nah not quite elite level
@@sf7862 Idk like he was unreal back in his day, bare in mind the defence in front of him was far from world class as well despite how good the attack and midfield was
Given was class for Ireland in particular, saved us so many times.
Just Fantastic! Gigantic respect for my childhood hero ALAN SHEARER! Great program, loved it!
HOPING TO SEE KING ERIC HERE ON THIS PROGRAM!
I hope that happens soon, to hear from Cantona would be incredible 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Was never a fan of Gary in his playing days being a NUFC supporter, but since he has left football (so to speak) I've found a new admiration for him. Love his honesty when commentating and now things such as this. May it long continue Gary.
Mate I had the same experience, I joined the Army at 16, had to leave Liverpool and everything in my life behind and move to London. Watched my mum crying at the station, I then locked myself in the toilet and cried uncontrollably for about have an hour. But it was the best move I ever made. You are a true legend of the game, I'm my opinion as a Liverpool fan, you are the best the premier League has ever see 👏
Massive respect to Alan. If you turn down a club as big as Man United it only shows your loyalty towards the club that you love. One of the very few players where money was not the first priority.
Great interview and really glad to see this uncensored
Early morning here on the south coast of Australia. Best thing to watch, a new ep of the overlap
He wanted to bring us back up when we went down imagine what could have been…. I hope one day he does come and give it another go as manager! If you Grew up in 90s Newcastle I just know shearers your idol 🐐
Shay Given
Think it's probably a blessing in the end he didn't get the job. Mike Ashley would've ruined it and it would've ended in tears.
Great player but doen't convince me with his inane ramblings on MOTD that he's anywhere near managerial material. It would all have ended in tears no matter who 'owned' the club.
Absolutely love Alan Shearer… as a City fan I’ve always loved Newcastle as a club, amazing fans very similar to City fans, I’ll never forget going up there when City lost to them in the FA Cup in 2002 and Keegan came on the screen to do his post match interview and the whole boozer went quiet… class club and class people 👏🏻
Are you comparing Newcastle's fans to City's plastic fans. Come on man 😆
City ain't on newcastle level interms of passion and fans lad
@@Ryanshaw6778 Yup agreed
thank you alan for coming to us . like wor jackie , you will never be forgotten . god bless local hero .
These interviews with OG players are savage keep them coming
Riveting viewing and brilliant interviewing from Gary. He builds such a rapport with each ex-player. Great viewing love it !
Can’t wait to give this a watch once finished work 👍
How was work honey
@@johnm8358 no complaints lad 😘
@@johnm8358 😆
This gives me goosebumps. Alan Shearer is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND and i resonate with him on every single level, which is very rare these days with footballers who snub the fans. What a fantastic interview by Gary Neville and what a beautiful insight behind the background of Alan's story. He is my hero, and the funny thing is, my Dad is a double of him! Love you Shearer!
Id love to see a part 2 of this seeing where we are now ❤
Ngl Shearer is underrated everywhere apart from Newcastle Ik he’s a god up here but I feel like people don’t give him the recognition of the greatest striker the premier league has seen they focus on Rooney and Henry and aguero but I rarely see Shearer apart from Newcastle fans
Unreal player, up there with all of those players you named.
Rubbish
@@danm9297 deserves so much more credit as well he changed his game as a centre forward when he done his knee twice and still scored goals for fun
I must commend Gary, he's getting really really good content out of some legends, really enjoyable to watch and listen to great stories. Players seem so relaxed talking to him. Well done #2
These episodes are brilliant can’t wait for more
Brilliant as always. Would have loved to have heard his thoughts on his England career
such a great interview, man i love Alan shearer he is 100% pure football and a top bloke and was bloody good at it too
I do hope the new owners at the toon look at this interview. If ever a guy knows what that club needs to get better it's him. At the top of his game he could have played for any club in the league he wanted and chose the club he loves. Respect him for that.
Love listening to Shearer as a fan. Such a passionate fella and this serious by G Neville keep going from strength to strength. Good work lads
I'm a Sunderland fan !!! First episode I've watched. Loved it, fascinating. Great interview, total respect for Alan, have to admit he is a hero of mine as one of the GOAT. Great interview Gary. Will watch many more. Thank you.
Brilliant! And hopefully Shearer’s records will all stand for a long, long time to come.
Another great Overlap episode. I wish Newcastle all the best, its gonna be fascinating watching the investment. Newcastle is a great city and the geordies are great people. Don't waste this opportunity, like my club did.
brilliant interview, what a legend AS...thanks GN
These interviews are sensational. Thank you.
These are so good, one of the best things on TH-cam right now. Any chance of one with Zola? Would love to see that
This man makes you proud to be a Geordie
Not a massive Gary Neville fan but everyone of these I have watched have been brilliant. And no exception here. Super stuff.
Thoroughly enjoyed that interview, Frank’s family must be so proud of his achievements and so grounded, his mum would certainly be proud , all the best for the future.
A great interview from Gary Neville too.
The greatest goal scorer the premier league has ever seen. FACT
Played a lot more games than Henry!
@@stephenwilliams87 for Newcastle….
If Henry played his whole career in the Premier league he would have smashed that record!
@@stephenwilliams87 but he didn't?
@@stephenwilliams87 if he played for Newcastle he’d have got half as many goals as he did. If that.
This guy gave me my fav years as a rovers fan was great to watch him live at ewood Park he was unreal :)
💯 the best thing to watch on TH-cam, keep up the good work
Fantastic gaz, keep it up. Shearer my hero.
Shearer Newcastle Legend
Premier League *
@@JOLUTOYT shut up plastic the premier League has nothing to do with Newcastle
What a great pleasure to watch such great players having a laugh and talking about quality football.
I love this channel so much! Every time I come to watch or rewatch a video im always looking for sub numbers, hope this goes crazy so we get more enjoyable content ;) I hope he will take Micha sometime.
Whenever you hear anyone talk about Bobby Robson, it is incredible how much respect, admiration, love people have for him. He sounds like a truly incredible human being, never mind football.
LOVE SHEARER WHAT A LEGEND
Brilliant as ever 👏🏻💪🏼
So glad I had chance to watch this guy play what a player!!
Thats a cracking watch, Love this. well put together.
Really miss Sir Bobby. Brilliant man.
Can’t beat the Shearer celebration
Brilliant again Gary 👍 Alan seems so down to earth what a proper legend can’t wait for the next episode 👍👍
They seem like regular pals! They've known each other for years of course, but they genuinely seem like they're friends too. I wasn't expecting that.
A true legend, imagine having loyalty in football. 👏
Shame there wasn’t more about the most successful part of Alan’s career - his time at Blackburn and winning the Premier League title.
Just commented the same thing, all about his time at Newcastle which was a complete and utter failure, didn't even manage second let alone any silverware.
One of the best goals i saw Shearer score was a volley against Everton from outside the box. What a finish.
Great interview, really enjoyed it and a couple of things I thought I knew but Didn't.
