Alan Shearer has told Soccer AM his statue outside St James' Park is celebrating with a finger pointed in homage to his final goal for Newcastle.
The 46-year-old, who is the Premier League's record scorer with 260 goals, has been honoured by his former club with the 16-foot high statue.
Funded by former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd, the installation shows Shearer with his famous goal celebration.
But there was confusion as to why the statue's raised arm had its index finger pointed, rather than in Shearer's typical flat-hand celebration.
The Newcastle and England legend explained to Soccer AM: "I knew it would cause a discussion with the hand or the finger but if you actually look to my last ever goal for Newcastle it was at Sunderland and if you look at the pictures of that goal, you will see that the finger is in the air."
Shearer's final Newcastle goal was scored from the penalty spot in a 4-1 win over rivals Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in April 2006.
He signed for Newcastle in 1996 for £15m from Blackburn and netted 206 times for the club, while he also scored 30 goals in 63 appearances for England.
His statue, which is displayed outside Newcastle's famous home ground, was delayed a number of times, but Shearer said he's delighted with the outcome.
"It took a few years to make because it was half-built for a number of years and then it was stopped for whatever reason by Newcastle," he added.
"Then Freddy Shepherd made a promise to me that he would continue it and make sure it happened, and he did. I was involved all the way along, I approved it and was very happy with it.
"It was a bit surreal because after the unveiling of the statue we went back and had a bit of a celebration and a few people were saying some kind words.
"People were saying, 'He went to this school, he scored this many goals, he lived here,' and I'm thinking, 'Am I still alive here?'.
"They normally say this stuff when you pass away!"
