Alan Shearer & Lainya Shearer

If this were “Jeopardy,” then the answer Alan Shearer would be linked to the question, “Who is the highest goalscorer in Premier League history.” But before Shearer became the most prolific goalscorer in the English game, he was a young striker at south coast club Southampton.

This is where he cut his teeth, and this is also when he met his wife, Lainya. They married in 1991 and have three children together. She comes from a time before the glamor of WAGs, and Shearer himself described her as quiet and awkward with the attention his profile brings. He was inducted into the “Premier League Hall of Fame” in 2021.

David James & Amanda Salmon

David James is either one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League’s history or one of the worst. He has been described as both and has been a talisman for his team’s success and the scapegoat for their failures. At one point, he was even dubbed calamity James due to an error-ridden period in his career.

He was married to Tanya James, with whom he had four children before they split in 2005. He then rekindled a romance with childhood sweetheart Amanda Salmon, and the couple has been together since 2007. In 2021 James hosted a radio show called “Football Scores with David James.”

Jamie Carragher & Nicola Hart

Jamie Carragher played for Liverpool as a defender throughout his career of 17 years. He served as the club’s vice-captain for ten years and held the record as their second-longest serving player. Since his retirement, he has become a pundit and commentator for Sky Sports.

Before finding fame, Carragher has long found his better half through his childhood sweetheart Nicola Hart. They have known each other since they were kids and even went to primary school together. The lovebirds had a beautiful wedding at Weston Park and are blessed with two children. Carragher’s son James is also establishing a football career and plays for Wigan Athletic F.C.
