Alan Shearer, a Newcastle great, targets Sunderland for relegation.
The Newcastle United legend would like to play for his old rivals for a very specific reason.
The Premier League’s record goalscorer is a legend with the Black Cats’ rivals Newcastle United, and it seems he would be keen to cause damage from within if he moved to the Stadium of Light.
How did Shearer fare for Newcastle against Sunderland?
Shearer of course, spent ten years with his hometown club Newcastle between 1996 and 2006, during which time he scored 206 goals in 405 appearances in all competitions for the Magpies, more than any other player to represent the club.
Six of those goals he scored for Newcastle came in the 11 Tyne-Wear derbies he played for the Magpies.
Indeed, his final game and goal of his career came in a 4-1 win for Newcastle over Sunderland in April 2006.
That came at a time when the Black Cats relegation from the Premier League to the Championship had already been confirmed.
