It's these stories from the old days that I love.
No one man is bigger than the team.
But Alan Shearer at his peak. 🤔
Takes some nuts to drop a player that good.
Think his peak was at Blackburn. He was unplayable for three seasons and then he got injured
@@marcnikolai scored plenty at Newcastle.
Shearer was still excellent at that time, but his peak was the mid 90s, he couldnt move as well as he used to by the time Gullit was manager. The fact he still scored so many goals despite that proves what a great player he was.
@@TheIkaraCult Youth is something we all must live down.
I'll never hold that against a person.
I am slightly disappointed he did not stick to management and got seduced by the easy money as a pundit. It's a great shame.
I'm sure he would have succeeded .
He can't blame that on injury.
😂😂😂😂
Imagine Prime Shearer and Prime Big Dunc upfront!!!!
terrifying
Especially with how small and frail the players are these days
Don't have to imagine. I saw it.
Robinson got an assist then Shearer came on for him when it was 1-1 and gave the ball away for Sunderlands winner!
Shearer was only 29 at the time, his legs were nowhere near gone. It was definitely personal.
I remember there was some argument at the time and Shearer was trying to insinuate that he was bigger than the manager so Gullit left him out. I remember wanting Newcastle to win so Gullit would be validated but it would work the other way.
Beat me to it…how is Shearer that far out?
Lol his legs were gone. Had already had 2 big injuries
@@RoadTripperrr He literally scored 5 in a single game a few weeks later. 😂
He wanted to shock Shearer, bring him down a peg or two because he wasn't in-form but thought he was undroppable anyway. It wasn't malicious.
Lineker if he was a strawberry tart, he'd eat himself
Sometimes managers drop players to give them a shake up! It obviously back fired. He might of lost a yard but technically still Awsome. 😊
Kevin Phillips saved Shearer's Newcastle career. He scored the goals for Sunderland that beat Newcastle.
Never thought of it that way but you could be right.
Phillips got the winner. Quinn got the equaliser.
You are right we would have lost Shearer he was going to go to Leeds I believe
Now they good mates 👏🏻. Great stuff.
i think it was a clash of styles and maturity. Dyer explained Ruud did not understand how a leftback’s cross field long pass could not land exactly at the feet of his right winger. He went ballistic at his defender for not completing that kind of pass. He could not comprehend that not everyone was Ballon dor standard.
gullit was just one of long line of great players who couldnt make the leap to good manager
Right on !!!
Such an interesting dynamic of football management. I doubt it was personal, but Gullit probably felt Shearer's legs were gone so was trying to force him out. Like Shearer said, if they win the game perhaps Shearer goes. I guess the big mistake Gullit made was dropping both him and Ferguson at the same time. In the end Robson comes in and gets a lot more from Shearer.
Golden boot 96 ( best tournament ). Still premier league top scorer despite his goals prior to 92 aren’t counted. Model professional. Signs for his boyhood club and stays. Plays through pain to the detriment of his own health and fitness. Legend of his own making.
Wrong decision to drop Shearer. Gullit definitely trying to stamp his authority as a manager but some
selections are a no brainer and doing so you cut off your own nose to spite your own face. Gullit was thinking like a footballer but he’s not thinking like a manager should and that’s why his managerial career came to an abrupt end
I'm sure that Shearer wasn't as old as Gary said at that time. Sir Bobby Robson came in after that, and he scored 5 in his first game in charge and played for quite a few years after that. He can't have been 32 at the time
He was 29
Thanks mate. @@jonathanward7320
He did play until he was about 37 i think
@@andyukmonkey
35*, Shearer's final season was 05/06. His b-day is August 13th, 1970.
ah, I must have misremembered@@blackerscreenproductions1368
I thought Shearer had the Phil Foden haircut in that thumbnail.
I was at this game I'm a boro fan so wanted them both to lose, but the atmopshere was as nasty as I've ever heard in a game.
A goal every other game, playing with average players. Imagine he was in a Barca or Madrid team. One of the most consistent and natural strikers ever.
I remember the game well, it was cold and chucking it down at St James and I saw neither Shearer or Fergie were starting so I thought we had a chance and we won. Little surprise Gullit got the chop, as much as I dislike Newcastle it was a derby game and there's £20-£30 million worth of bench warmers and the Geordies would have been livid. I'd have been livid if Phillips and Quinny were benched too.
Gullit is just one in a long line of great players who made poor managers.
Is this when Gullit said he wanted to produce 'sexy football'? What a numptee he was as a manager.
Of course English people can't play ''sexy football''.
Big dunc 😂😂 love that guy and shearer 🤩
Actually Alan had only just turned 29 years old when Ruud dropped him!! Alan went on to score 23 premier league goals and 30 goals total in all competitions in that 99/00 season.
It’s true what they saying when you’ve been in a side for a long time and you know ya names gonna be up there and it’s not …. It hurts !! 😂😂
Think these 3 are brilliant together.
That thumbnail makes shearer look like he has one amazing fringe 😂😂😂
Anyone else seen the thumbnail and thought Shearer had a legoman haircut because of the shadow? I've come across it twice now and thought it both times lol.
Best English striker of the last forty years. I’d take him over Kane, great though Kane is.
Great tho Kane is, my man’s talking like Yoda
Before the Knee problems killed his pace, I probably agree.
Never heard of Rooney?
@@500degreeeeees not a striker
@Ironsmiler Whattttttt ??? What was he then at the start to the end of his career? He dropped back further as he go older. Don't tell me Rooney wasn't a striker though lool
Only just noticed the dog
Come on Alan, you was 29, not 32!
I wish Gary would stop inhaling O2
Shearer....difficult? Never!
Silly poker move by Guillt though.
He got dropped. So what?
It happens to every player at some time.
Shearer is the most bigheaded player ever.
A good trait to a point for a striker.
But he was too much,
It’s why he chose the Geordies no trophies in a million years instead of taking a real challenge on at United.
A fast track bully by anyone’s standards.
Nobody has a right to be selected.
Dropping the best player, against Sunderland. Putting on a youth player. Great management. Shearer was class, world class.
Still laughing g now, shearers face was a picture, still is ,
"They have since reconciled and are now friends." Seriously though, that's a lovely coda.
That makes no sense he can’t of been 32 that was in 1999 he didn’t retire till he was 2006 so he was far from finished
Funny they get on now 🤣
Shearer still had hair at the time, he had plenty of leg left
Alan wasn’t on form and Duncan wasn’t but has scored two goals against wimbeldon week before. He tried to get everyone to engage more and be more committed but it wasn’t working. The players didn’t like his style of play and were shattered because of ten pre season games in Europe. Confidence was low motivation too. Alan was 29 he knows how old he was. He also knows it was 1-1 when he came on. But he bends the truth to look better because he KNOWS it wasn’t his fault they lost the game. But the weather ruined that game it was horrendous and no one would have saved Newcastle that match. It was almost written because of the form they had at the time to lose and they knew it going into the second half.
RUUD wanted everything his way. His ego took over. He knew the biggest and best influencer was Alan, so he thought he would change things. He also knew he would lose the game and wanted one final im the boss statement which back fired. But he knew he was gone. If they’d have won the game they’d have lost the week after and he would have been sacked anyway.
No Alan wasnt on form. But no Newcastle player were. Doesn’t matter if his legs had gone he still scored loads of goals under Bobby. Forwards don’t always have to have blistering pace. It’s what team you’ve got around you. Bobby shook things up, nicely, he cared, he was approachable. Players took to him felt that they wanted to play. Beat Sheffield 8-0 a week later. I’m confident in saying had Bobby have took over a couple of weeks before the Sunderland game, Newcastle would have finished top ten instead.
Also confident in saying, Ruud management skills were terrible. Pre season as well. And that, sir Bobby had got to a point where players became a bit lazy, a bit softer in challenges and duals, and we lost a few games as he got sacked, but a change of ownership was coming. Graham was okay at first. He was. We had egos and mardy players like bowyer, Bellamy, etc… but we won our first few games with ease under Graham. Then won eight in a row. So we scored goals. But eventually, his lack of intelligence and lack of knowledge and player management tripped him up. Once Bellamy went so did our pace, and we lost a few as well from injury, so course Graham would get sacked. Pretty sure glen took over and we finished 7th.
Lineker projecting the spite that has upset so many folk in recent years.
So thats what Shearer wid look like wi a Foden haircut
Biblical
Shearer was in denial and gullit was right.
Aye Sheepsheed glossed over missing a penalty that night. Good always triumphs over evil !
Didn't miss his last one though did he!?
@@Makina-99 6 in a Row !!!!!!!! Loser !
That was a different game lol
@@CHRIS-ky5ku which game was this one?
@@Makina-99Well it was not the game he missed a penalty, that was a different season and Gullit was not the manager.
Met Shearer in Barbados on holiday once,very arrogant and the big i am ,really shocked me how he came across and to see him on tv we see another Fake side to him...
you were only a player Let the manager manage
Another arrogant player who can't accept a manager's decision. He admits he'd lost a yard but couldn't accept that a manager should rest him. Great striker in his day but just another player who thinks he's better than anyone else.
Because he was better than everyone else
Shearer needs to just "let it go"! ✋🏽
Sick to death of hearing about this Al !!
do you have the video on repeat?
imagine if mary poppins had the balls to go to man u instead of the easy option, imagine he may have won something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rudd was right to drop him . He didn’t get dropped for scoring week in week out did he ? Shearer himself admitted he had lost a yard of pace. So why expect to be playing every game when hes getting on? The fact he went barging into the mangers office without knocking shows no respect and he thought he was bigger than the club. Very arrogant
BS
Yeah, I remember this at the time and really wanting the decision to pay off. People forget what actually happened.
If your not a local resident and don't know about the intense " rivalry" in this match then you can't really comment
You don't know what you're talking about,saying why should he expect to play every week as he was getting on.He played 7 more seasons after Gullit left,scored 107 PL goals and 150 overall.
@@grimreavers if you weren’t born in 1999 then you can’t comment.
Shearer proving just how selfish he is.
So what Shearers no god, except in his own head , numb bum on the bench is what all players deserve eventually
Ruud Gullit 'Alan Shearer is the most overrated player i've ever seen'
Shearer saying he’d have left if Newcastle won that game is pathetic
I think you missed the point.
There's one thing Micah Richards brings to these episodes - diversity.
You’re a racist hater cry more
What a selfish that!
Shearer was way way overrated the PK king
If he was ‘overrated’ as you claim then why would Alex Ferguson try to sign him not once but twice?!
@@Lazfah but did he naw Ferguson signed millions a donkey 🤔🤔
@@Lazfah Fergie also told Mourinho to sign Dele Ali when he was Utd manager.
If you’d seen him play you would t be saying that
@@petegonad he’s was 💩💋
Shearer won nothing.
I think shearer was overrated in my view
Leading PL score overrated? 🫤
@@ducksmad yeah but how many games did he take to score his goals? About 441 games to score 260 goals where Henry took 258 games to score 175 goals and Sergio Aguero 184 goals in 275 games. I would rather these 2 and Harry kane than Shearer any day
You’re entitled to a view
Buts it’s wrong
Speaking of Henry, which two players were the first inductees into the PL hall of fame?
@@noooname2568 don’t matter you ask most defenders who they feared most and they will tell you it was Henry . Just ask Jamie Carra
Overated big ego English player using his player power. Shearer is the reason they never won anything. At least they got a poster boy.
gr8 b8 m8
Overrated? Only the PL greatest ever goalscorer u muppet
Always one 🛎️ end 🤦♂️🤡
Clueless comment
Explain.
I'd like to watch and listen to more just Richards does my head in so loud for no reason
He was just jealous because alan was a better player and liked by more people. He just could not live with that, pathetic insecure manager
I don't believe that, players must be seen under the light of their own era. Sherer was a great striker in his own era but Gullit was in the league of the 4 best players in the world between 1987 and 1992.
Not in Newcastle mate
Ruud Gullit was a beast and a complete player.
Gullit was a far better player. What are you smoking?
Gullit won the balon dor multiple European Cups and scudettos and the euros with holland. He was along with mathaus the midfielder of his generation.
Bobby Robson was on the verge of letting the bald Eagle go to Liverpool but they didn't want him according to Michael Owen.
