Football punditry isn't always smooth sailing, as Alan Shearer proved during Bournemouth's clash with Liverpool. The BBC Match of the Day host left viewers chuckling after an amusing on-air gaffe involving Cherries defender Milos Kerkez.
The Moment That Stole the Show
As Bournemouth mounted an attack, Shearer confidently identified Kerkez as the player making a dangerous run - only for replays to show it was actually another Bournemouth star. The Newcastle legend quickly corrected himself, but not before social media erupted with reactions.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Twitter users were quick to spot the mistake, with one fan joking: "Shearer's still seeing stars from his playing days!". Another added: "At least he didn't call him Alan Smith this time" - referencing another famous Shearer mix-up.
Not the First Time
This isn't the first identification blunder from the Premier League's record goalscorer. Shearer has form for mixing up players, though it usually just adds to his relatable charm. As one supporter noted: "That's why we love Shearer - he's human like the rest of us."
The incident provided light relief during an otherwise tense match, proving that even football legends aren't immune to the occasional slip-up.
