Shearer, well known in the football industry even after almost two decades of retirement, boasts an impressive array of accolades, including a Premier League title with Blackburn in the 1994/95 season and two Premier League Golden Boot awards.
Additionally, Shearer clinched the coveted Golden Boot at Euro ’96, notably ending a two-year goalless streak in international competitions. He was voted England’s greatest striker of the last 30 years in a recent YouGov poll, surpassing the likes of Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane and Teddy Sheringham.

Betfair’s announcement of Shearer as its brand ambassador is a strategic move dedicated to the Euro 2024 tournament. The operator will leverage Shearer’s status to enhance its brand presence and engagement throughout the competition.
As the Euros action unfolds, the football maestro will share his expertise with Betfair by providing weekly previews of the matches, in-depth analysis of the latest tournament developments, and exclusive insights into England’s journey towards the championship title.
