Magpies' skipper Alan Shearer has played down his chances of breaking the clubs greatest-ever goalscoring record (set by Geordie legend Jackie Milburn), despite being just 29 goals short.

SHEARER AND JACKIES RECORD

Jackie Milburn netted 200 times for the club, but Alan Shearer isn't that far behind, with a season and a bit left at the club!
The 33-year-old striker currently has 171 goals to his name, thanks to a two-goal brace in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Everton.
Shearer however said: "I don't think I will break Jackie's record.
"When you say I only need 29 between now and the end of next season, you would think it was easy."
