Premier League legend Alan Shearer admitted he once told a young Newcastle United academy player to f*** off when he asked to take a penalty.The Geordie hero remains at the very top of the goalscoring tree with a staggering 260 Premier League goals during his illustrious career.

55 of his strikes came from the spot with the former England international only missing five penalties during his career.While the beloved Match of the Day pundit remains the greatest goalscorer in the division’s history, his enormous goal tally was certainly helped by his mercurial sharp shooting from 12 yards.

And he did everything to ensure his goalscoring was never disturbed, including telling a young academy ace to f*** off when he wanted to score his first ever goal for the Magpies.“We played a game with Newcastle and it was Sir Bobby Robson’s first ever home game with Newcastle, and we beat Sheffield Wednesday 8-0,” Shearer said to the Peter Crouch Podcast. “The score was 7-0 and a young kid came on as a sub, Paul Robinson.“I had scored four goals, the score was 7-0, and he was a centre-forward.

We were given a penalty and I went to pick the ball up and he came up to me and said: ‘can I have it Al?’“You can imagine what I said.
