Premier League all-time top scorer with 260 goals, a Newcastle United icon and England striker of rare power and consistency.
Alan Shearer is the Premier League's all-time top scorer with 260 goals and remains one of the most complete centre-forwards England has produced. His physical strength, aerial ability and clinical finishing made him virtually unplayable at his peak. A loyal servant to Newcastle United for the second half of his career, he turned down the chance to join Manchester United for a record £15 million fee to return to his hometown club.
His 260 Premier League goals is a record that has stood since 2006 and looks likely to stand indefinitely.
