Alan Shearer was one of the commentators during the event. The occasion which guaranteed a total of $50k donation was organized for the Alan Shearer Foundation that supports differently abled children and adults.

True Geordie scores and does Alan Shearer’s iconic celebration during Twitch Rivals charity football event
The charity football competition was hailed as the first in-real-life live sports event that has been hosted by Twitch Rivals. True Geordie initially announced the event on 5 December 2021 and claimed the following:
“I’ve always wanted to create a charity event, so to be able to do it with all my mates and raising money for my hero and the Alan Shearer Foundation is a dream come true.”
As it happened, the streamer was able to score in front of Alan Shearer, who was watching from the commentary box. True Geordie immediately ran towards the football legend and ended up doing his celebration.
The streamer bowed repeatedly in front of Shearer towards the end. The ex-Newcastle striker was full of praise for True Geordie:
“I can retire happy now. Great finish. I didn’t think he was gonna get there, he was so quick to react. What a reaction that was, wasn’t it?”
The goal proved even more special as it helped True Geordie’s team gain a hefty 6-2 lead. Alan Shearer is still the highest goalscorer in the English Premier League and had a prolific career during which he scored a total of 313 goals.
True Geordie is an avid Newcastle supporter who was also born and raised in the city. His Twitch name “Geordie” is also associated with the region.
Needless to say, the streamer will never forget the special moment and would have been delighted after scoring in front of his idol, Alan Shearer.
