Shearer Retires

It's official now - the knee injury he picked up at Sunderland means he will not take any further part in the last couple of games left this season. Like he said, it wasn't a bad way to retire - scoring away at the Mackems to help the team win 4-1, but I'm sure he'd have preferred a hat trick at St James in the last game of the season to guarantee us European football. At least he gets to watch Amoebi (sp?) from the dugout - the boy has found a new lease of life the last couple of weeks and got another couple yesterday in the easy win over West Brom.

Anyway, just in case anyone forgot how good Shearer was, the film is for you. I think one of my favourite bits is when he manages to entice Keane into completely losing his rag - it's a classic.
