We Are Newcastle United will be narrated by none other than Geordie legend Alan Shearer.

Shearer currently holds the record for the most goals scored in the Premier League (260) and is, of course, Newcastle's top scorer too.

He made 303 appearances for Newcastle United as their striker in the No.9 shirt between 1996 and 2006, and even has a statue erected outside St James' Park.
