Alan Shearer has been handed another huge boost - just days after his daughter Chloe married rugby ace Micky Young. The sports agent, 34, tied the knot in north Yorkshire after the former Newcastle Falcons scrum half popped the question last November.

The proposal last year took place during a charity bash to support the Alan Shearer Foundation. And less than a week after Chloe's nuptials, England and Newcastle legend Shearer has something else to cheer about when it comes to his Foundation.

The Alan Shearer Foundation - which helps children and adults with complex disabilities and sensory impairments - has received a £140,000 donation from QTS Data Centers, who are building a campus near the Alan Shearer Centre in Cambois.

"Everything we do here is provided free of charge," Shearer said.

"This level of support gives us the confidence to plan ahead and reach more families. We’re very grateful for QTS’ support and the difference it will make to families across the North East.”

It has been a summer of celebrations for the Shearer family. The former striker's other daughter, Hollie, 31, also married a rugby player. Hollie wed Red Rose star Joe Marchant in August.

The ceremony took place in Winchester, Hampshire, after Shearer returned from pundit duties in the USA.

Like his father-in-law, Marchant, 30, has also strutted his stuff on biggest stage.

The Sale Sharks man was a key player for the England rugby team led by Steve Borthwick at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
