Inside Shearer's relationship with daughter's boyfriend after he called him out
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer appears to have a good relationship with both his daughters' partners, even if he publicly called one of them out for an embarrassing mistake Rugby star Micky Young appears to be in the good books of his daughter's famous father, Alan Shearer, despite being called out by the Newcastle legend. The 36-year-old, who now plays for Gloucester Rugby after more than a decade with Newcastle Falcons over two spells, has been dating Shearer's oldest daughter, Chloe, for some time. Young is embedded with the Shearers and features in numerous family pictures on social media. The Hartlepool-born scrum-half made the effort to travel to London to cheer on Shearer's son, Will, at the recent London Marathon, even if he took a scenic route to get there after an embarrassing train station blunder, having attended a Newcastle football match. Shearer couldn't help but regale the story on The Rest is Football podcast with Gary Lineker and Micah Richards. The Match of Day pundit and former England striker explained: "He was meant to get on the 5.59pm train from Newcastle to London to come and watch and support Will, as we all were down here. "He got there five minutes early, and then he got on the train. Then, [after] 15 minutes on the train, he heard the announcement, 'Welcome to everyone who's got on this train to Edinburgh.' And it was non-stop all the way to Edinburgh! He's had to go from Newcastle to Edinburgh, and that's the last train he could get on." To Young's credit, he didn't write off getting to London, catching an overnight bus from one capital city to another. Shearer added: 'He looked at different modes of transport, flight, car. 'He got on the f***ing Megabus, the 10pm Megabus, which costs him £30 from Edinburgh to London and he got in at 6.45am this morning into London. So I said to him, 'You are meant to be looking after my f****** daughter in the future!'" As Lineker and Richards praised Young for making such an effort, Shearer quipped: "He said he stopped at Dunbar, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield. I said, 'Oh, you idiot!'" While Young is unlikely to hear the end of the incident anytime soon, he has clearly formed a strong bond with his beau's dad. He is currently in the midst of his Newcastle Falcons testimonial year, which is supporting the Alan Shearer Foundation, which supports the lives of people with a wide range of complex needs, and the My Name's Doddie Foundation, an MND charity in the name of late Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir. A recent Pre-Lions Dinner, organised by Young's testimonial committee, raised funds for both charities. The Shearer Foundation expressed its thanks on social media, posting: 'Thank you Micky Young for choosing The Alan Shearer Foundation along with the My Name is Doddie Foundation as your chosen charities to support during your testimonial year!' Earlier this year, Young shared a picture from the Alan Shearer Foundation ball and wrote: 'We had a great night at the ASF ball on Saturday…we're proud to be supporting the Alan Shearer Foundation as one of our chosen charities throughout the testimonial year.' The picture featured Young, Chloe, Alan, his wife Lainya, Will and the Shearers' other daughter, Hollie, with her fiancé, Joe Marchant, who also happens to be a rugby player. Marchant, who has been with Hollie for more than three years, also seems to have the approval of her England legend dad, who once quipped on social media: 'I'm just glad he's not a footballer!'
