Shearer: Saving Toon my biggest ever challenge

ALAN SHEARER has admitted saving his beloved Newcastle would be the biggest achievement of his glittering career in football.

The 38-year-old will send out his team at Stoke tomorrow with just seven games of the Premier League season remaining and knowing their plight is fast becoming critical.

However, the task of dragging the Magpies out of the bottom three – they are currently three points adrift of derby rivals Sunderland – is one he remains confident he can add to his CV.
