The latest "Premier League Mornings Live" fan fest came to New York on 8 December as the largest-ever celebration of the Premier League to date in the US.
Not only were there extra Premier League matches to enjoy across the day, but the NBC Sports studio team and Premier League fans were joined by some extra-special guests.

Shearer had already been enjoying life in the Big Apple.
As well as a visit to the top of the Empire State Building, the former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers forward met the New York Rangers NHL team, where Shearer also got on the ice to try his hand as the Rangers' Zamboni driver.

Shearer was also joined at Saturday's event by hundreds of fans and former Manchester City and US national team player player Claudio Reyna.
