Alan Shearer Goal Quotations

When you give quality teams a two goals start like we have done, against Manchester United and Liverpool, then more often or not you are not going to get back.

I wanted to go the full distance, yes, but if I have to finish, then it's not a bad way to finish, coming to your local enemies and scoring a goal that's helped us get a 4-1 win.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

For me, Paul Scholes has been the best midfield player in the Premier League. By a mile. He has the lot. He scores and creates goals, he can pass the ball, he can head it, and rounds all this off with a competitive streak.

You never get fed up scoring goals

People say he doesn't score a lot of goals with his head, but does he really have to with the ability he has in his feet? He makes spectacular goals look easy. His technique is fantastic. (on Thierry Henry)

I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.
