Alan Shearer, never one to back down from a battle, recalled on the Match of the Day Top Ten podcast how colleagues Keiron Dyer and Lee Bowyer once went toe-to-toe with Graeme Souness, demonstrating that he had lost none of his fire from his Rangers days.

“I remember walking back into the locker room and being captain, and as you can imagine, I just came in and said, ‘You pair of (expletive deleted) idiots!'”
