Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer is happy to back at St James' Park.

Shearer is 'proud' to see his name return to 'where it belongs' following the renaming of the St James' Park main bar. Fans celebrated as the Gallowgate End bar returned to its original name last month in honour of the club's all-time record goalscorer.

He told NUFC TV: "It's great, I think everyone sort of associated it with my name anyway. The name might have changed, but whenever my mates came to St James', they always said they were going into my bar. I'm very proud to see my name back above the bar, where it belongs."

When asked if he had been back since the renaming, Shearer added: "I went in a few weeks ago before a game, not when it was renamed but it was when I met one of the doctors who did that great work with one of the fans a few months ago. I went in there and had a pint with him."
