Big Al

Alan Shearer (the Lion of Gosforth - down the road from where Dad wasa born) has retired after 10 years at Newcastle. The best English striker of all time. It is such a shame that he won't finish the season - but going out after a goal against the mackems at the Stadium of Plight ain't all bad.

The tributes are flowing in on BBC, Sky etc. They usually strike me as fawning and overstated - but when Big Al is the subject matter - there is no such thing as hyperbole!





Thanks Al.
