He was educated at Gosforth Central Middle School and Gosforth High School. Growing up playing on the streets of his hometown, he originally played in midfield because “it meant [he] could get more involved in the games.” Shearer captained his school team and helped a Newcastle City Schools team win a seven-a-side tournament at St James’ Park, before joining the amateur Wallsend Boys Club as a teenager. It was while playing for the Wallsend club that he was spotted by Southampton’s scout, Jack Hixon, which resulted in Shearer spending his summers training with the club’s youth team, a time he would later refer to as “the making of me”.
