Jenny Lindstrom wrote a 32-page thesis on the Newcastle United hero.

Her essay, The King of Newcastle - Alan Shearer Is Above Football, earned her a Society and Media masters degree.

Jenny, 27, said: "The relationship between Alan Shearer and Newcastle is unique. He is the hero of a modern fairy tale fairy tale

."

Her mission to Tyneside also had a happy ending for Jenny - she will tie the knot with director David Grieves, 36, next summer.
