While other clubs celebrate winning titles and cups ... and we have milked everything we possibly can out of a competition that doesn't even exist anymore (Inter-City Faies Cup) ... we are left with celebrating - A WIN OVER MANCHESTER UNITED!

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer says his goal in Sunday's charity match will be the last time we ever see him in action

Alan Shearer scored with a trademark smart finish for the Newcastle Legends side at Kingston Park on Sunday – the highlight of a memorable afternoon for the 6,000 who braved the rain to see some of the club’s best ever players pull on black and white.

The Alan Shearer Foundation game saw the United legend manage and lead the line for a team made up of some of the best from the Entertainers era. They were taking on a Manchester Select side managed by Keith Gillespie, and an entertaining clash finished 2-2.
 
Tino Asprilla entertained, United’s former players looked smart enough but it was Shearer’s goal that made the headlines.

And it also was a little bit of black and white history – because you’re unlikely to see the celebration immortalised in a statue outside St James’ Park ever again.

“I got the old celebration out one more time but I don’t think you’ll be seeing that again,” he told the Chronicle’s Chris Waugh afterwards.
