Newcastle rivals Shearer and Gullit reunited on TV

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer and former manager Ruud Gullit were reunited on British TV yesterday.

Gullit famously dropped Newcastle icon Shearer during his reign and was soon sacked.

And presenter Gary Lineker could not resist asking Gullit: "Have you ever left a big player out of a starting line-up?"

To which Gullit, pointing at Shearer, replied: "Yes, him."

Shearer came back: "Yeah, and look what happened."

The old adversaries were soon laughing and shaking hands, however, even revealing they'd played golf together.
