Alan Shearer has revealed he was woken up by a couple having sex on a piano in his hotel room the day his Newcastle side were relegated from the Premier League back in 2009.

The Newcastle legend returned to St James' park as manager for the final eight games of the season while Joe Kinnear recovered from heart surgery. When Shearer took the job, they were two points from safety and they were ultimately relegated after losing 1-0 to Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

And Shearer has now joked he "should've known that it wasn't going to go well" against Villa after his day got off to an utterly bizarre start. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Shearer said he went to bed at around 11:30pm after having a few drinks with his coaching staff to "help us sleep a little better", before he was woken in shocking fashion.

"At about three or four in the morning, I think I'm dreaming," Shearer said. "I can hear noises, and as a manager I was not even aware that this happened, you get put into a suite.

"So I've got this lovely suite in the hotel with a big lounge and my bedroom which is sort of sectioned off. I'm awoken and thinking 'am I dreaming, I can hear noises?'. I can hear someone playing the piano.

"I've got a piano in the lounge of the room. I'm thinking 'there's someone in my f***ing room here, seriously!' Suddenly it stops and I think 'ah ok'. Five minutes later I can hear people talking in my room and then I hear other things.

"So, I sort of creep up and I was a bit nervous and scared. And I sort of looked through and I'm not kidding you, there was a bloke and a woman on the piano and the bloke was giving the woman one in my room!

"I swear to god. I'm thinking do I scream, do I shout, what do I do? So I shouted out, 'do me a f***ing favour mate will you, come on!' Honestly, they quickly got up and sprinted out of the room.

"I couldn't believe what was happening. I don't know whether they were members of staff who thought the room was empty or what, but I should've known then that it wasn't going to go well in the afternoon at the game."
