An amazing morning in Melbourne with the main man here on a promotional tour. We went down to the Bob Jane Stadium in Albert Park to watch Shearer
train some kids from various Melbourne football clubs. Of course, we were fully decked out in toon gear to make sure he felt at home. About 300 other ex-pat Geordies had done the same so it was quite surreal. After about an hour they finished up and he was being whisked off to go and watch the AFL grand final at the MCG which is also on today (no co-incidence there I'm sure). Before he went though he met the fans and signed autographs. The top picture is of him signing Ethan's number 9 on the back of his shirt and the bottom one speaks for itself. So thats another ambition chalked off ... you don't get closer to the almighty than that ;-)
