HE’S used to waxing lyrical on Match Of The Day, but now ex- Saints star Alan Shearer has come face to face with his waxwork self.
And the player turned TV pundit was “over the moon” with his likeness on display at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool.
“I think they’ve done such a great job it’s scary,” he said.
“It’s weird looking at yourself and thinking how incredibly alike it is.”
The waxwork figure of the England legend, who also played for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, took four months to make and will be on display in the “locker room” area at the attraction alongside the waxwork doubles of fellow iconic soccer stars David Beckham and Wayne Rooney.
