PHOTOS: Ex Saints star unveils 16ft bronze statue of himself

Show/hide article…

Former Saints striker Alan Shearer said he was very proud and honoured to unveil a bronze statue of himself in his home city of Newcastle.

The 46-year-old, who is still the Premier League’s record goal scorer, was speaking next to the 16 foot high statue that now stands outside St James’ Park.

Funded by former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd, the installation shows forme England captain Shearer with his famous one hand in the air goal celebration.

‘‘I’m very proud and honoured to be stood here with this statue, I’m in great company with Jackie Milburn and Sir Bobby only 20 yards away,’’ he said.

''Never, ever did I think when I left home at 15 to go to Southampton to be a professional footballer that one day I would have a statue.

‘‘I’m a very, very lucky guy. I scored goals, I was half decent at it, I would have done it if I didn’t get paid and there’s many coaches, players and staff at all the clubs I have been with that I have to thank and it’s as much for those guys as it is for me.’’

Signing for Newcastle in 1996 for £15m from Blackburn, Shearer also went on to score 30 goals for England in 63 caps.

He was joined at the unveiling by his wife and three children as well as by former England and Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan.

Mr Shepherd said: ''Alan was one of the greatest players ever to wear the Newcastle shirt. It is now 10 years since he retired and our family decided that fans shouldn’t have to wait any longer for his unique career to be properly recognised.

‘‘We are proud and delighted to have been able to create a lasting monument to not only a great footballer, but also a fine man who has done so much for the communities in Newcastle through his charity work.’’

Jamie Carragher gives his views on Arsenal’s late penalty against Southampton

Show/hide article…

Jamie Carragher thinks the decision to award Arsenal a late penalty in the Gunners 2-1 victory over Southampton was a correct one.

With the scores locked at 1-1 deep into injury time, referee Bobby Madley pointed to the spot after seeing Jose Fonte pulling on Olivier Giroud’s shirt.

Santi Cazorla stepped up to hand Arsene Wenger’s side a crucial three points and Carragher, who admitted to changing his mind, insists Madley got the decision spot on.

“People said Southampton were unlucky and when I initially saw it I thought they were unlucky, but I’ve changed my mind,” the former Liverpool defender told Monday Night Football.

"Where I’ve got no sympathy first of all is the position that Fonte finds himself. The reason he grabs his shirt is panic. He can’t see the ball and he gets hold of the shirt.

“There was talk whether the penalty was given for the initial grab or what comes afterwards. Maybe people will say he brought him down on the follow through but if you actually look at the referee, he’s already putting his whistle to his mouth so it’s for the shirt pulling,” Carragher added.

"A lot of people may say it’s harsh and the reason we may think it’s soft is because he hasn’t pulled him down or actually changed too much.

"If he had let go of his shirt, we would probably still be in the same position where they are both backing into each other. However, he’s got hold of him and it’s sustained holding and that’s why referee Bobby Madley has made correct decision.

“We’re still getting used to shirt pulling and giving penalties for it so there’s going to be lots of times when we think it shouldn’t be a penalty, but there’s been a crackdown on referees on it this season and if defenders continue to hold shirts in the box they are going to get decisions given against them.”

Referees have been told to clamp down on players pulling shirts inside the box this season and Monday Night Football guest Phil Neville thought the decision was correct under the new directive.

“I think it’s harsh but under the new directive I don’t think you can moan,” the former Manchester United defender said.

"If you grab a shirt in the box, you are going to concede a penalty. Us as defenders, we would have done that all day long in our day but you can’t get away with it nowadays, it’s a penalty.

“You’ve actually got to get yourself into better defensive positions to alleviate simple balls over the top like that. Fonte should have done that and just dealt with it straight away.”
