Skipper Alan Shearer claimed the North-East Player of the Year award this week and his wondergoal against Everton was also voted the North-East goal of the year. Meanwhile, team-mate Jermaine Jenas got the Young Player of the Year award for the second time this season.

These titles for Shearer just adds to the collection of awards he's recieved this season. Big Al claimed the Domestic Player of the Decade and Overall Player of the Decade by the Premier League a little while ago, and with his peformances this saeason you could hardly argue with the North-East Player of the Season award.

The judges included mackem coach Kevin Ball but even he admitted Shearer is the king.

His goal against Everton was as spectacular as they come too, so no suprise there either.

Jermaine Jenas replicated his Premier League Young Player of the Year award for the North-East awards too, which is evidence of JJ's development this season.
