Last Saturday England and world footballing great Alan Shearer conducted a coaching clinic on the Bob Jan Stadium turf.

The day was organized by former SBS panelist and football commentator Andy Paschalidis with Shearer sneaking into the country with very little fanfare.

The Newcastle talisman conducted a 2 hour clinic with some very privileged youngsters who got some invaluable tips and life lasting memories from the “Toon” legend.

Shearer also was generous enough to take a picture holding the South Melbourne scarf; inspiring images of South’s well publicized goal-scoring problems of the past two seasons being solved by the Geordie great. Of course one can dream.
