Alan Shearer revealed a bizarre incident from his time as interim manager of Newcastle United in 2009, when he discovered a couple having sex on a piano in his hotel suite.
Shearer, brought in with eight matches left in the season to stave off relegation, recounted the event on a Q&A episode of The Rest Is Football with Gary Lineker.
High-Stress Situation
With Newcastle facing a crucial relegation decider against Aston Villa, Shearer described the mental strain of the situation.
Despite attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy, the pressure was immense, and every possible scenario was running through his mind.
Hotel Encounter
Arriving at the hotel before the match, Shearer and his staff tried to relax with a few drinks.

Thinking he was dreaming, he heard someone playing the piano, only to realize there was a couple engaging in intimate activities on the instrument.
Aston Villa Match and Relegation
The surreal encounter didn’t bode well for Newcastle’s fortunes, as they ultimately lost the crucial match against Aston Villa, sealing their relegation from the Premier League.
Local rivals Middlesbrough also suffered relegation that day, while Sunderland and Hull managed to stay up.

Despite Shearer’s efforts, Newcastle couldn’t avoid the drop.
He did not continue as manager, with Chris Hughton taking over and guiding the team back to the Premier League as champions the following season.
