ALAN SHEARER shared a hilarious story after his daughter’s boyfriend had a nightmare journey to the London Marathon.
The Newcastle legend’s son Will, 24, ran the gruelling 26.2 mile course across the capital yesterday.
He was cheered on by all the family, including his dad, mum Lainya and his two sisters Chloe and Hollie.
Shearer’s eldest daughter Chloe, 31, is in a relationship with former rugby player Micky Young and he made journey to London too after watching Newcastle beat Ipswich 3-0 on Saturday.
Young was meant to hop on the 17:59 train but ended up making a huge error.
Shearer told the Rest Is Football Podcast: “He got to the station five minutes early, he got on the train and then he heard the announcement, ‘Welcome to everyone heading to Edinburgh’.
“It was non-stop all the way to Edinburgh. He looked at all the different modes of transport, flight, car.
“But he got on the f***ing Mega Bus. The 10pm Mega Bus, which cost him £30 from Edinburgh to London.
“He got in at 6:45am this morning to London.
“I said to him, ‘and you are meant to be looking after my f***ing daughter in the future’.
“It stopped at Dunbar, Leeds and Sheffield. Oh you idiot.”
The story left podcast co-hosts Gary Lineker and Micah Richards in stitches.
Will, who was raising money for the Alan Shearer Foundation, completed the London Marathon in around 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Shearer took to Instagram to congratulate his son, saying: “Time for a well earned beer @willshearer9 you smashed it. Proud of you running for the @alanshearerfoundation. Thank you.”
Young is a retired scrum half who used to play for the Newcastle Falcons, Leicester Tigers and Bath.
