Alan Shearer knows that if he wants to preserve his record as the Premier League's all-time record goalscorer, it would be helpful if Erling Haaland moved away from the English top flight.

The former Newcastle United and England striker scored 260 Premier League goals across his 14 years in the league.

Haaland has netted 120 Premier League goals in four-and-a-bit seasons and should he stay with Manchester City - and City stay in the league - it is feasible the Norwegian could surpass Shearer's tally.

However, Shearer acknowledges that if Haaland does not break the record, someone else likely will.

Before Haaland it was England forward Harry Kane closing in on the number. But his sum of 213 goals halted after he swapped Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich in 2023.

"I'm sure it will be broken one day, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts," Shearer told the Football Interview.

"If we can get Haaland out to Real Madrid or somewhere like that in the next couple of years then it should be alright."

Twenty years after retiring from football, Shearer sat down with Kelly Somers to discuss his love of Newcastle, almost continuing his managerial career and swapping the pitch for the commentary box.

But there was a time when the 56-year-old thought he would never return to his home city after moving to Southampton aged 15, where he lived in digs with another family.
（暂无翻译）
"I wouldn't change anything - one of the best things I did was move away from home at 15," Shearer said.
（暂无翻译）
"But when my kids got to 15 I thought 'how on earth did my parents let me leave home at that age?' "There's no way I could have let my my two girls and my son walk away from their home at 15 years of age.

"I remember getting on the train at Newcastle Central station, looking at my mum and dad and the tears rolling down my mum's face when I was pulling out of the station and waving thinking, 'is this the last time I'm ever going to live back home?'" A move closer to home followed in 1992, working with Sir Kenny Dalglish at Blackburn Rovers where Shearer won the Premier League title before returning to his beloved Newcastle in 1996 - a return to his boyhood club a matter of when not if.

Shearer's best season at Newcastle was his first (1996-97) when he scored 25 Premier League goals Little did he know that would be his last taste of silverware as a player - he was on the losing side of two FA Cup finals in a Newcastle team that never went as far as first hoped.

But, regardless of Newcastle's league status and once the opportunity arose, there was never any doubt of Shearer returning to the north east.
（暂无翻译）
He recalls standing in the Gallowgate End of St James' Park as a youngster, watching his hero Kevin Keegan then the "surreal" feeling of signing for him years later.
（暂无翻译）
"I saw the adulation that he [Keegan] had.
（暂无翻译）
He was like the pied piper in Newcastle, everyone followed him everywhere," he said.
（暂无翻译）
"I was one of those little kids that went to the training ground, to the ground - and I wanted a piece of that."
（暂无翻译）
Shearer became a club legend himself, spending 10 years in the north east and scoring 206 goals in 405 appearances across all competitions.

It is that status that means on the occasions where he can enjoy a pre-match pint with friends and walk up to St James' Park as a fan, there is an element of disguise required.

"My friend owns a pub in Newcastle called Harry's and I get dropped off outside the pub and then I walk up from the ground," he said. "I've got a cap on and I very rarely look up because it would take me forever to get from the pub to the ground.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
But I often do it.
（暂无翻译）
"They've [friends] done that all their life and I'm able to do that now and I love it."
（暂无翻译）
Despite calling time on his playing career two decades ago, it is still rare for Shearer to find himself with a weekend off.
（暂无翻译）
Now a regular pundit on Match of the Day, as well as co-commentating on England games and sitting alongside Gary Lineker and Micah Richards on The Rest Is Football podcast, he has become one of the most respected pundits in the game.

But that was not always going to be the case. Unsure of whether he would enter the world of management or media post-retirement, Shearer served as interim Newcastle manager in 2009 for the remaining eight games of the season.

It ended badly, with the Magpies relegated and Shearer never returning to the dugout.
（暂无翻译）
"Newcastle were were in desperate trouble and I could never say no - we were bottom of the league, fighting for our lives," he said.
（暂无翻译）
"I should have known that when I signed the contract on April Fool's Day that it wasn't going to work out!
（暂无翻译）
"I always felt that I was going to go into it again and I wanted to.
（暂无翻译）
I had a couple of interviews and got offered the job at Cardiff.
（暂无翻译）
And then things changed ... and I thought, 'what am I doing here?'" That ended Shearer's brief brush with management and he returned to punditry, spending his weekends travelling between Newcastle and Salford for Match of the Day.

"It is such a long day.
（暂无翻译）
For me travelling from Newcastle, it's a probably 19-20 hour day," he said.
（暂无翻译）
"What people don't realise is that you're meant to be at your brightest and your liveliest when you go on live at 10:30, whereas if you're watching football all day on the settee, you're ready to nod off at that time." Watching so much Premier League football, at least Shearer is able to monitor that goal-scoring record of his. Get football news sent straight to your phone
