Shearer has become a renowned broadcaster since hanging up his goal-scoring boots.

The 54-year-old set a transfer record when he joined Newcastle United for £15m from Blackburn Rovers in 1996, having already won the title with his former club and made a name for himself with Southampton.

?

His media work with the BBC, Al-Jazeera and now Amazon - along with his podcast, The Rest is Football with Gary Lineker and Micah Richards - has helped him maintain his status as one of the most recognisable names in football.

His BBC income alone brings him £380,000.

The couple have been together since Shearer's Southampton days, marrying in 1991 after living with her parents during his early career.

Together, they have three children, and Alan famously shared a tale of domestic fury when he moved away from Southampton to Blackburn in 1992 while Lainya was pregnant.

Nonetheless, her name surfaced when Ruud Gullit reflected on his managerial tenure at Newcastle - a period marked by tension with Shearer.

Gullit made the decision to bench Shearer for a derby defeat against Sunderland at St.

The 35-year-old rugby player enjoyed two stints with Newcastle Falcons before moving on to Gloucester last year.

The Falcons have planned a testimonial year for Young, featuring a special football dinner event with none other than Shearer himself.
