Alan Shearer's biography

At a glance

  • Premier League's all-time leading goal scorer
  • Renowned football pundit and commentator on BBC
  • Key player for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United
Alan Shearer is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. He is renowned for his exceptional goal-scoring ability and holds the record for the most goals scored in the history of the Premier League, with an impressive total of 260 goals. Alan's career saw him achieve great success both domestically and internationally. He was a key member of the Blackburn Rovers team that clinched the Premier League title, and he also represented England in major tournaments, even captaining the national team for four years. As a speaker, Alan Shearer is a true football icon who captivates audiences with captivating stories from his incredible career. He began his journey at Southampton and made history as the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the top division on his full debut. His outstanding performances earned him the title of Southampton's Player of the Season in 1991. Shearer then moved to Blackburn Rovers for a British record fee and, despite a challenging first year, he emerged as a prolific goal scorer in the 1993-94 season, netting an impressive 31 goals in 40 games. This remarkable achievement earned him the prestigious FWA Footballer of the Year title. The following year, he won the Golden Boot with 34 goals and was crucial in securing the Premier League title for Blackburn Rovers. Recognising his outstanding performance, he was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year in the 1994/95 season. After his successful stint at Blackburn Rovers, Shearer moved to his beloved Newcastle United for a world record fee. He instantly became a fan favourite and went on to become the Premier League's top scorer for three consecutive seasons. Furthermore, he added another Player of the Year award to his collection. Shearer's contributions to Newcastle United were so significant that he became the club's all-time leading scorer. In addition to his club success, Shearer represented England on the international stage, earning 60 caps and scoring 30 goals. Following his retirement from professional football, Shearer transitioned into a career as a pundit on BBC's Match of the Day, where he provided expert analysis and commentary on football matches and contributed to the network's coverage of major football tournaments. Outside of football, Shearer actively participates in charity work and supports the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and NSPCC. His outstanding contributions to the sport and his charitable endeavours have earned him numerous accolades, including a CBE and honorary Doctorates in Law from Northumbria and Newcastle Universities. With his immense knowledge, experience, and captivating storytelling abilities, Alan Shearer is an excellent choice for any football audience seeking a speaker who can entertain and inspire.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
