Watch Alan Shearer’s hilarious response to getting a query about his personal profession flawed in sports activities quiz – leaving his team-mates in stitches

Alan Shearer gave a hilarious reaction during a Betfair quiz in a round about his own career as he got a question wrong.

The Premier League’s all-time top Premier League scorer joined the ‘football’ team for the quiz, which was held to celebrate Christmas, and had footballer turned broadcaster Alan McInally and presenter Abigail Davies on his team.

They took on the ‘racing team,’ captained by Rachael Blackmore and also including 14-time champion trainer, Paul Nicholls and Sky Sports Racing presenter, Vanessa Ryle.

Host Kevin Hatchard put the quizzers through their paces in five rounds of sport trivia: on the buzzer, hedge your bets, captain’s challenge, go big or go home and the final furlong.

The captain’s challenge involved Shearer answering questions about his own career, but he triggered some hilarious responses when getting some wrong.

The highlight of the round was when he was asked about his time at Blackburn, and, in particular, when he was playing in the Champions League.

Shearer left competitors cracking up with his reaction to getting an answer about his career incorrect in the captain’s challenge

Shearer was asked who the only Premier League player to have won the Golden Boot more times was, and he correctly picked out Thierry Henry.

He was then asked who moved to Southampton from Blackburn as part of his move, and he went right with David Speedie.

The Match of the Day pundit then gave John Lukic as the goalkeeper he scored a hat-trick against on his Southampton debut, but came up short when quizzed on who he scored against in the 1994/95 Champions League for Blackburn.

After a short pause, Shearer nervously suggested Heerenveen, and he was corrected with Rosenborg.

The fellow competitors were then left in stitches as the ex-striker exclaimed: ‘B****cks!’ before continuing.

Shearer got all remaining questions correct, bar Moises Caicedo being the record transfer between two British clubs, which he passed on.

Speaking on the quiz, Shearer said: ‘There’s nothing like a good quiz at Christmas, and it was great to captain the team for Betfair’s Christmas Quizzing… Only Bettor. I won’t spoil it for people who are going to watch, but some of those questions were a lot tougher than we thought they would be.

‘Fair play to the Betfair racing team too, they know their stuff.’
