Alan Shearer claims Mark Viduka was one of the Newcastle players he managed with a "brilliant attitude." The Australian would spend two years on Tyneside and scored seven times in 38 appearances for the Magpies.
Shearer claims Viduka had been forgotten about by the club and weren't getting the striker out to train despite being in the midst of a relegation battle. The former Newcastle interim boss said Viduka "worked his socks off" to get fit to try and keep the Magpies up.
Despite not scoring in the final four games of the season, Shearer has been full of praise for his former striker. Speaking to Match of The Day: Top 10 : "I'll just say about his attitude, I don't know if I've said it before - brilliant - when I went there he was just forgotten about. Newcastle - gone - eight games left they were paying his wages and they weren't even getting him out to train.
