England football legend Alan Shearer spoke about the twists and turns of his career. In 1996, the striker made a famous move from Blackburn to Newcastle United for a then world record fee of 15 million pounds sterling. According to the Englishman, at that time his services were actively sought after by the Manchester United team. "On the same day, I talked to both Kevin Keegan and Sir Alex Ferguson (club managers). I had to make a decision. At first, I was considering the Red Devils. But then I sat down and waited for a call from Keegan, who asked to meet in the next few days. Ultimately, I thought - I'm going back to Newcastle city, because I always supported this club and wanted to play in it. I don't regret such a decision at all, if I had to do it again, I would do the same," said Shearer. The striker became a hero to Newcastle United fans, scoring 148 goals in 303 Premier League matches.
