Shearer reckons he almost joined in 2004

Alan Shearer says he was hours away from sealing a move to Celtic from Newcastle in 2004. "It just fell at the last hurdle and it wasn't to be," he said. "But it could've happened and I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it - absolutely."

We got Henri Camara instead



Shearer was getting on a bit then but would have done a job IMO

 

'twas Duncan Shearer you thick Bristolian Irish prick

 

he still would have been better than henri camara

 

Here Neil, any problems playing alongside the guy who stamped on your head?

Total non-starter. Just Shearer bumping his dog raping gums

 

Bellemy joined 6 months later - imagine the 2 of them reunited in Glasgow

 

That could have developed into a great partnership.

 

Yeah they'd probably have clicked with each other.

 

I suppose it could alos have had a negative impact

 

with them up front their could have been a few kodac moments

 

Their talent would have been too much to handle for opposition defences and they'd resort to snapping them everytime they were on the ball.

 

Exposure to these puns is harmful to health!

 

Loved that poodle pumper

Who has been better than him since he retired you think?
