Alan Shearer jokingly called out the boyfriend of his daughter Chloe, ex-rugby ace Micky Young, for a slight mishap after celebrating recent triumph over Ipswich Town.

While was focused on supporting his son Will at the , Young had been enjoying the Magpies' solid 3-0 victory over Ipswich - and was planning to regroup with the rest of the family for the marathon event.

Despite having carefully planned to be present at , the 36-year-old encountered an unexpected detour, prompting a light-hearted rebuke from on the newest episode of The Rest is Football podcast.

During the show, where inquired about the condition of Shearer’s son Will, the football legend said: "He's well, he's told us that he's got about four or five toenails that have gone and his feet - his feet look horrendous - but he did it. I mean, oh my, it's the first time I've been and watched the London Marathon.

"And I have to say, it's just, it's unbelievable, the atmosphere and the coming together of everyone creating this amazing [atmosphere]. Yeah, it's just like, honestly, everyone's just like so happy."

He continued with a humorous story about his daughter's long-time partner, as Shearer said: "I've got to tell you a quick story about my eldest daughter Chloe and her boyfriend, rugby guy, ex-rugby guy used to play for Newcastle Falcons. He's been going out with her for a few years now.

"He went to the Newcastle game yesterday, and he was meant to get on the 5:59pm train from Newcastle to London to come and watch and support Will, as we all were down here.

"So he got to the train station and he got there five minutes early and then he got on the train and then 15 minutes on the train he heard the announcement, 'Welcome to everyone who's got on this train to Edinburgh. And it was non-stop all the way to Edinburgh.

"So he was meant to [come to London], he's had to go from Newcastle to Edinburgh and that's the last train he could get on."

Shearer couldn't help but tease his daughter's partner, joking about not being able to trust him with Chloe, thanks to such an obvious blunder.

"He had to go all the way to Edinburgh, and he looked at different modes of transport, flight, car," he said. "He got on the f***ing Megabus, the 10:00pm Megabus, which costs him £30 from Edinburgh to London and he got in at 6:45am this morning into London. So I said to him, 'You are meant to be looking after my f****** daughter in the future!'"

Lineker and co-host Micah Richards barely contained their laughter as the former Tottenham Hotspur star quipped: "I mean, it's a good effort to go on the bus despite all that, though, to be fair."

Shearer added: "Honestly, I said, 'Really?' and he said he stopped at Dunbar, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield and I said, 'Oh you idiot!'"

Despite the travel mishaps, both Shearer and Young had reason to celebrate as Newcastle jumped back to third place in the Premier League following a victory over the already-relegated Ipswich.

However, they now have to contend with Nottingham Forest, who still have a game in hand, after their 2-0 defeat in the FA Cup semi-finals against Manchester City on Sunday.
