The former Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United, Southampton, and England striker faced off against Betfair‘s team of racing specialists, including Rachael Blackmore, Paul Nicholls, and Sky Sports’ Vanessa Ryle.

Shearer started off with impressive speed alongside teammates Alan McInally and Sky Sports‘ Abigail Davies.

However, he appeared to lose his train of thought as the quiz went on, much to the amusement of the rival team.

His frustration was palpable after he answered incorrectly during a question about his only Champions League goal for Rovers, the club he led to the Premier League title in the 1994/95 season.

Shearer mistakenly guessed that he netted against the Dutch team Heerenveen while competing in Rovers’ one and only outing in Europe‘s premier tournament.

In actuality, his goal came against Norwegian side Rosenborg.

Realizing his error, a vexed Shearer exclaimed: “B******s.”

The Betfair quiz, hosted by Kevin Hatchard, included five rounds of sports trivia.

Betfair ambassador Shearer remarked: “There’s nothing quite like a good quiz during the holiday season.

“It was a privilege to lead the team for Betfair’s Christmas Quizzing… Only Bettor.

Alan Shearer is uncertain about Gary Lineker’s MOTD replacement but shares why he prefers to remain uninformed about who’s stepping in.

“I won’t spoil the fun for anyone who plans to watch, but some of the questions were definitely tougher than we expected.

“Hats off to the Betfair racing team too; they truly know their stuff.”
