Today is the 12 year anniversary - see above for a fine Fishy article on the subject.

I appreciate that not everyone still finds this amusing but some of us loved it    Whitts maintained it was an accident, both in a media interview and via Macca's book.  If true then Shearer really did over-react!

I think Mr Whittle knew exactly what he was doing that night.

I'm an accountant so I can make 2018 less 2005 total whatever I like  .  Well spotted though..2005/06 season but of course game was in 2005 not 2006.

Congrats on being alert

I have the greatest respect for Alan Shearer  as a goalscorer, but that night he was as perhaps always, a bristling package of elbows and subtle fouls, something which I had never seen by Justin.

Alan Shearer was the absolute epitome of someone who loved to give it out but could never take it back!

I only ever saw the incident live at the game and, at the time, thought it was just an accidental collision. No reason to disbelieve that Whittle says about it and I certainly never thought he was in any way a dirty player.

Still, no complaints as Shearer 'accidentally' caught enough defenders to be due a couple of accidental whacks himself. My opinion of him went right down after the game as he went on whinging about it despite actually scoring the winning goal.
