Video: Alan Shearer shows he never lost his finishing touch

Shear class...

Alan Shearer’s punditry style might have changed over the years, but it’s good to see his football ability has stayed the same.

The former England and striker chipped a football over a swimming pool and into a chair at the first attempt – at least his son Will, who filmed the effort, claimed the precise shot was first-time lucky.

The effort was vintage Shearer, right down to his trademark celebration.

With the likes of Emmanuel Riviere misfiring at Shearer’s former club Newcastle last season, perhaps it’s time to coax the 44-year-old out of retirement.

If fellow fortysomething Henrik Larsson can do it, why can’t he?
