Newcastle United skipper Alan Shearer has hailed Portsmouth's Teddy Sheringham just as Teddy has hailed him ahead of todays match.

Shearer and Sheringham formed a sucessful partnership for England in the 1990's.

SHEARER SAID: "Despite his age, Teddy Sheringham is still a fantastic player.

"Teddy never relied on his pace, so the fact he might have lost a yard or two doesn't matter - his pace is in his head.

"He's the best around - he's up there with Peter Beardsley in that role. In fact I would say there's no one as good as him in that role right now.

"We'll have our hands full with Teddy - although I'll feel like a spring chicken next to him!"

Sheringham said: "Alan can't stop scoring goals. He's got nine in the past 11 games. He keeps doing it year in, year out."
