Three legends indeed, but Shearer stands head and shoulders above the other two, simply because he TURNED DOWN the chance of a bucket full of medals to play at St James' Park.
Gazza wanted riches and stardom, and couldn't wait to get away.
OK, he probably deserved better that the side he played in back in the mid eighties because he was a genuine world class star ... but it was only at the back-end of his injury-ravaged career that he wanted a return to Tyneside.
And by that time, under Kevin Keegan, we were TOO GOOD for HIM!
Pedro has probably done more for the club than any other player (apart from Shearer) in his two spells at the club. A star - and a legend.
But he stunned everyone when he signed for Carlisle United (in the Darlington board room) when he was on trial at Newcastle.
And I will never forget when he walked to The Kop in 1987 at Anfield ... in a gesture that had the Scousers mocking the Geordies ... a day I will never forget.
Yes he came back after picking up his medals ... but Shearer stuck two fingers up to Manchester United more than once ... when he too could have picked up the highest honours in the game.
Sir Bobby Robson wants Alan Shearer to rescue Newcastle ... and let's hope that day comes ... because Mike Ashley seems intent on spoiling it.
The three Geordie icons will take part in an England v Germany Legends game for the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Foundation tonight.
Sir Bobby Robson: ‘It’s great that Alan can play but I’d have preferred to have him involved at Newcastle United because I believe we need a strong manager for the next five years.
‘But Newcastle’s loss at the moment is my gain and I’m thrilled he is with the England Legends team. I tried to sign Alan for Barcelona, but he came back home to Newcastle instead.
‘Thankfully, I was able to be his manager later on at St James’ Park and he was a model professional, as well as a great captain and centre-forward. Next, I expect him to be a great manager, and I hope it’s with our club, Newcastle.’
Beardsley: ‘It’s going to be a magnificent occasion. Alan, Gazza and myself haven’t played together since we were all in the same England squad under Terry Venables nearly 15 years ago.
‘It’s tempting to think how Newcastle would have done if we’d all played for them together in our prime, particularly if Sir Bobby had been manager. Maybe that elusive league championship would have been ours.’
