Following Alan Shearer’s surprise appointment as Newcastle United manager, Sky Bet have seen an unprecedented gamble on the Geordie icon taking to the pitch again and scoring for the ailing Magpies this season. After making the special bet available at 100/1 this morning, bets have flooded in on Shearer and the Harrogate-based firm have now cut him to 20/1 to score before the end of the season.

Sky Bet’s Dale Tempest, said, “With the obvious striker problems at Newcastle, the speculation seems to be that 38-year-old Shearer is considering a return to Newcastle’s forward line. Punters are obviously hoping that, with things now so desperate on the Toon, the Shearer-Owen partnership will be reformed!”
