Newcastle old boys join Shearer testimonial line-up

Former Newcastle skipper Rob Lee admits close friend and long-time team-mate Alan Shearer is arguably the greatest player ever to pull on the famous black and white shirt.

Lee, now 40 and on the books at Wycombe, will return to St James’ Park on May 11 to play in Shearer’s testimonial game in little doubt as to the stature enjoyed by a man who has established himself as a legend at the age of 35.
