After the EFL Cup game match commentary last week Humberside played a great piece on the 2005 season. It included clips of Tondeur interviewing Whittle and then Shearer. Very funny.
But have just seen the article below which is the first time I have seen this version with Shearer himself pretty much admitting bottling it. 😆

I still giggle whenever I see the scar on his lip


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I was sat in the lower, o the half way line that night. Shearer gave Whittle a forearm smash in the face, first half. Whittle didn't cry like a baby, just got on with it, unllike Shearer. I didn't see the actual elbow on Shearer, but saw his face pouring with blood. From what I saw, after the game on TV, it looked like Whittle put his arm out to protect himself after the elbow in the first half and caught him a good un. Whittle offered him out in the car park after the final whistle, wisely he declined.
Aledgedly, Whittle was named Sunderland player of the month!. The only non Sunderland player to receive it.

In the post match Tondeur /Whittle interview Justin said he didn't start crying or beeling to the ref when Shearer gave him one...he just thought OK I owe you one..

I recorded that game and watched some of it as soon as I got home, and I'll never forget Chris Kamaras comments.

Shearers elbow on Whittle "Heh, Whittle will have to get used to that. Thats part of Shearers game" All said with a laugh

Then when Whittle returned the favour Chris was falling apart at the seems about how violent Whittle was. FFS it was hilarious when your mate was dishing it out.

A friend ran a Newcastle webzine and stated that Whittle was a lower league thug.

  I remember pointing out he got 4 bookings and 0 red cards in 50 games the previous season.  He was tough but not dirty, but that didn't suit shearers/toon fans story.   And that article is in that vein too.

I really don’t like the Geordies been twice with town and once with England and been attacked or verbally abused every time. I’ve worked with Geordies and didn’t particularly like them either , all could give banter out but struggled to take it back a bit like shearer the baby 👩‍🦲

Would have been a fool to take Whittle on

Whittle definitely had a look before sending his elbow out, but was clever enough to be looking the other way when the contact happened.  I remember being enraged that career 'hard man' Shearer was happy smashing arms across everyone else' but couldn't take it - at that point in his career he was clearly too used to getting special treatment
