'Oh dear' – Alan Shearer sings Valerie on Match of the Day as part of awful joke that leaves Gary Lineker cringing | The Sun

ALAN SHEARER and Ian Wright teamed up on the first Match of the Day of the season to deliver a cringeworthy pun.

Newcastle legend Shearer serenaded Gary Lineker and the viewers with a rendition of Amy Winehouse hit Valerie.



Although the joke went down like a lead balloon both with presenter Lineker.

The pun came during Shearer's analysis of Tottenham's 4-1 victory over Southampton.

The all-time Premier League record scorer criticised Jan Valery for not coming out to stop a Son Heung-min cross that led to Eric Dier's goal.

Shearer highlighted the Saints man and said: "Why doesn't he come on over?"
