“Alan (Shearer) Wayne were the best attackers with whom I played. Wayne was just a young man at that time, but you can see where he would come to – he was a big player.

Everton was really struggling for money at that time and discovered that they were listening to offers from people as well. They were trying to pay me to register in Chelsea because they were paying the most money. But once I knew that United was interested I wanted some assertion that they wanted to want.
