The Newcastle legend was on co-commentary duties for BBC 5 Live when England booked their spot in Sunday's Euro 2024 final with a dramatic 2-1 win over Holland. Shearer, 53, was carried away by the historic moment as Ollie Watkins scored a 90th minute winner to edge past the Dutch and secure England's place in Berlin this weekend.

Shearer was well known for his simple, but iconic, celebration during his goal-filled career.
