Shearer took great pleasure in driving his ball 293 yards where as Wright hit his 277 leaving the smug Shearer unable to contain his joy as he uploaded a pic of his name above Wright's on the table.

The ex-Newcastle hit man is a keen player of golf in his spare time and will be over the moon to get one over on Wright also a budding golfer when not committed to punditry work.

Shearer is winding up the ex-Arsenal and Crystal Palace striker by claiming he needs to 'get on the weights' and with the pair being the most competitive strikers this country has produced it will be interesting if Wright will fire something back.
