so owen has signed...
and horrors of horrors.. the black and white stripes actually look really good on him..





i think im being a complete idiot.. but i know somewhere inside im kinda jealous man.. and afraid. that he'll take the limelight off shearer.. who has been THE man since his signing eons ago.. haha im sound so damn primary school.. but i cant help it.. coz when i first took notice of shearer.. and developed a huge respect for him was indeed when i was in primary school.. but i guess.. the old always has to make way for the new.. im a horrible fan in the sense that im so sentimental.. whereas others would be glad that a new talent is coming..
i just hope owen has half the heart that shearer has.. and well.. good luck to the club. everyone seems to be pretty ecstatic about this signing. and shearer was a huge factor in bring him in anyway.. and now everyone's speaking bout what a great partnership they will have. well.. i still hope shearer bags the most goals this season just as he has every year since he came.. and just has.. a last glorious year.. after that.. owen can move in. but he'll never replace shearer. no one can ever replace him. and i know the geordies know that.. now feast your eyes..

taken off SHEARER: MY STORY SO FAR (i had to add this in. copyright crap scares me)



the first time shearer met kevin keegan.. who was one of his heroes growing up.. through a competition he won..



the print is so small.. but anyway that was shearer after scoring a hattrick against arsenal in his first EVER game in the epl in 1988.. he still holds the record today as the youngest player to do so at 17 years 240 days.. how incredible... (:
" The thing i remember most was the noise of the crowd as I went off. I had managed to shut it out for most of the game while I concentrated on playing but to hear my name echoing around the Dell was a fantastic sound. So this is what professional football was like! I didn't kid myself that it was going to be like this every week but my first taste of the big time was incredible. I could not wait for more.
Just to get in the side at such a young age was great.To score three goals was beyond my wildest dreams. Back in the dressing-room afterwards I didn't have time to think, though I did remember to make sure I got hold of the match ball as a souveneir which still has pride of place at my parents' home. once I changed, Chris Nicholl took me upstairs to his office so I could ring my mum and dad. Naturally, they were as pleased as Punch but slightly miffed that they had not been there in person." - Shearer





this is the guy who gave shearer his first step into the world of football and has been there ever since.. im not sure if he's still alive coz he has cancer a few years ago.. and it was a really sad story.. sigh



shearer in one of his extremely rare moments of violence where he lashed out on a friend on the pitch.. during his blackburn days which were probably in terms of goals scored and matches played the best part of his career.. he really did become a legend there. too bad no one today can appreciate that anymore.



yes i actually have a picture of becks here now. but so what.



the only thing that shearer has ever won.. the premiership title in 1995.. sigh.

i could go on and on and on.. there's so much more to say.. but.. im not in the right mind today so it wont do him justice.. shall put up more pictures tomorrow.. in his newcastle days.. and his family. his kids are just magnificently adorable. i sound like some stupid gushing teen. but i just really. really. respect this man.
