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. 😆 https://www.chroniclelive.co.u.....#amp-readmore-target 2023/24 DLWDDWDLLLWDLLLLWDDDWDLLWLDLLDWDDWLLDWLWLWL but not NLN 😁 2022/23LDWDWWDWLLDWWDLLLDLWLLWLWLLWDDLDWWDDDLLWDWLWLW 2021/22 WDWWWWDLWWWWLLLWLLDLWLLWWDWWWLWDLWWDWWWDLWD play offs WWW Promoted 🥳 2020/21  LLDWWLDLDWLWLLLDLWLLDLLDLLLWLLLDDDDWDDDLWLWLWL .. hello darkness my old friend 2019/20  WDLDWWLDLWWLLLDLDLDLDDWWDLLWDDWWL WLLW - ended 2018/19  LWDDLLLLLLWWDWLLLWDWLWWWWLLLLWWWWDLLLDDLLDLWLW Hello Scunny

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

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.

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.   Byddwn ond yn canu pan fyddwn yn pysgota

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 👩‍🦲

It’s just a shame matches were played under water in those days. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

He was such a fabulous player Shearer and a brilliantly competitive attitude. Quite funny that he openly talks about not fancying a ruck with Whittle as being when he knew it was time to retire.
