Former Newcastle United winger David Ginola believes that Alan Shearer is the only man capable of saving the Toon from relegation nightmare.
Ginola knew nothing but good times during his two years at St James' Park as Newcastle supporters have memories of both Shearer and Ginola turning on the style on Tyneside.
"I wasn't really surprised to see Newcastle turn to Alan," Ginola told the Evening Chronicle.
"They have tried everything. They have been through so many different managers.
"The club is now in real trouble and they have asked a Geordie lad to help the club. It's no surprise.
"Newcastle is a very special club and it is difficult for people outside of Newcastle to understand it.
"To be honest to southerners, it is a different world altogether. There is passion here that is different to anywhere. It's a different attitude and that's what it's all about.
"Only the followers of the team will understand that but Alan understands it as well."
