Cant see that anywhere, lots of ligament damages etc. & in 1996 he moved from blackburn to newcastle for ?15m
He was out most of the 97-98 season due to serious ankle problem
1997?98 FA Premier League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaNewcastle United
Just before the season started, star striker Alan Shearer suffered a serious ankle injury in a pre-season game and did not return to action until February. Two other key players, David Ginola and Les Ferdinand, were sold to Tottenham before the season started. Replacements like Jon Dahl Tomasson, John Barnes and Ian Rush failed to deliver where their predecessors had so memorably succeeded, and even Shearer's return to fitness could not bring Kenny Dalglish anything more than a 13th place finish in his first full season as Newcastle manager. This showing gave particular cause for concern, as Newcastle had finished runners-up in the last two seasons and had never finished below sixth since returning to the top flight in 1993.
In spite of their dismal Premiership form, Newcastle enjoyed a good run in the FA Cup and reached the final for the first time in 24 years. They never looked like winners, and the final whistle blew with a 2?0 scoreline giving the trophy to opponents Arsenal. But as Arsenal had completed the double, Newcastle entered the Cup Winners' Cup.Last edited by cunny; 27 August, 2013, 19:26.sigpic
