Alan Shearer

Proper can't tho. Can't stand his smug face on match of the day.

Wouldn't say the best in the PL. Longevity helps on his part

Henry, Aguero, RVP, Suarez and maybe a couple of others are better players

Best striker not best player. Facts back it up.

What stats are those?

Firstly, it's late.

You're rambling

Shearer was one of my favourite players when he was younger, and I too remember him when he was at his peak in the 90's. He was talked about the way Aguero is today.

He has since been eclipsed by the likes of Henry and Aguero for all round strikers, but let's not forget how good the teams were those players played in. Players in general though have improved from Shearer's era.

I didn't appreciate Shearer. Was clouded by my hatred of his disrespect to UTD,and his thuggish style.
Fine, you wanna play for 'Brown Ale', that's all good, but you don't leave Sir Alex hanging.
And it's so sweet to see Andy Coles name as the 2nd top scorer.
But for sure, Shearer was a monster of a striker.
Sure he scored some 60 penalties and Cole never took any, but he still scored more anyway, and for that Newcastle team and Southampton and Blackburn.
Fair play.

When Keegan signed him he said something like United were streets ahead and if they and allowed him to go to OT then we would have won everything for the next 5 years or more.

but we continued to win everything for the next 15...
Shearer... nothing!....

Disrespected Utd? He turned them down, how is that being disrespectful? United didn't have a god given right to sign a player, but maybe they acted as though they did which contributed to big Al's decision to give Whiskey nose the finger.

I'm the same. I was clouded by his disrespect of SAF and UTD. Couldn't stand the guy.
And even with his Penalty count, he still scored more, but as stated by Mclanelli, something about seeing Andy Cole, at one point the most criticised striker around is officially 2nd, with no Penalties... sweet indeed.
but yes, Shearer is a true legend of the Premiership, that, there is no doubt!!

oh haha, I didn't read it properly.. that was me that said that...
Yeas he did disrespect UTD in the manner in which he did his business...
but his loss..
