The story was that the reason he got off with the ban, was because of the upcoming France World Cup and Shearer threatening to retire from International football, if found guilty.
He should have been sent off for that, England Captain, what message does it send out. One thing I must say Shearer was quite a cunning and sly player, he got away with a lot, personally I never liked him but, he is probably greatest finisher for many years, he was quite a hard bloke from I have heard, he did, after all stand up to Roy Keane a few times and could give as good as he got
I also remember Uriah Rennie having the audacity to send shearer off at St James' in about 1999 or 2000...
Here is another amusing video I found, for all the Robbie Savage haters, a compilation of Savage being shoved about, the funniest is the Ref decking him at St James'
