World Football's 12 Most Famous Insults
10. Freddy Shepherd On Alan Shearer
Former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd once risked the wrath of the Geordie faithful when insulting Newcastles all time top goal scorer, Alan Shearer.
Shepherd stated Alan Shearer is just boring; we call him Mary Poppins.
The chairman later apologised for being so disrespectful, but as avid viewers of Match Of The Day would agree, Shepherd was probably right.
