Steve Harper: “I've done the first part of my badges and I'm going to do the next one over the summer. By the time I retire I'll be fully qualified as a goalkeeping coach.
“I've done a bit of media work as well and that keeps you involved.
“We'll wait and see. Alan Shearer and me as a management team? He has to get a job himself first!
“I can't see myself as a manager, but as you get older, maybe I'll give it a try.
"If the right opportunity came along. I'm friends with Alan, I could work with him, but he would be a hard task master.
"He is very driven, as he was when he was playing.”
