Alan Shearer jokingly told off for Amazon Prime commentary role over failure to follow Ally McCoist and wife’s example
AMAZON PRIME commentator Jon Champion poked fun at Alan Shearer during Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest.
The pair worked alongside each other for United’s 3-0 win.
But Shearer forgot to provide the half-time sandwiches – unlike Ally McCoist.
Broadcasting legend Champion, 57, revealed McCoist’s wife, Vivien, provided the sandwiches when they previously commentated together.
But Champion had no such luck when paired with Newcastle icon Shearer, 52.
Instead, when asked, Shearer joked that he would share his wine gums with Champion instead.
The all-time Premier League record scorer risked an Amazon Prime snub by forgetting to provide the sandwiches.
However, Champion jokingly warned after the game that Shearer should learn from his mistake if they work together again.
He wrote on Twitter: “I am prepared to overlook the failure of @alanshearer to provide HT sustenance tonight.
“But I hope he regards this as a learning experience should we be fortunate enough to be invited back by @primevideosport
#MUNNFO Mrs McCoist for the win!”

Shearer responded to the tweet with tongue-out and laughing face emojis.
On the pitch Erik ten Hag’s side strolled to a comfortable win.
The superb Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial put United two goals ahead, before Fred came off the bench to seal the win late on.
