Former England forward and current Newcastle manager is to be knighted in the Queen's forthcoming honours list for services to football.
Shearer, already an OBE as a result of his performances within the Premier League and Internationally, will become 'Sir Alan' on the back of leading Newcastle to the Championship.
Shearer said 'it's a surprise for sure but an honour. I didn't imagine that my work would be recognised so quickly. I'd like to thank the Newcastle board and players that made all this possible.'
