Fowler didn't live up to his early promise like Owen, due to injuries and whatever else.

I was just about to bring up his recreational habits.
They didn't call them the "Spice Boys" for nothing.

Only know the top 2. Think Villa was better than Raul.
Rooney is the world record holder for the most Man Utd and England goals and is a world and European champion. Kane has never won a trophy

Actually was only looking yesterday at Hugo Sanchez record and very impressed. Mexican legend.
I am astonished everybody is arguing over Roobey, Kane and Shearer, when the real top two are:
Jimmy Greaves
Dixie Dean
From that list, Shearer top and Kane 2nd. No doubt.
But Rooney is better than all of them. He didn’t need to go to Barca or Real because United were an elite team up until 2013 (certainly in terms of results).
He didn’t need to go to any other team. It’s not like Ronaldo who grew up dreaming of playing for Madrid. English players don’t grow up idolising Spanish teams.

You not counting Di Stéfano?
Only saw the first 3 play, personally I think Villa and Raul is a fairly tough call. Villa better goal scorer, Raul brought more to a team.

Dean played in the 1920s/30s. So it’s hard to judge him.
Greaves is up there for sure. The thing against him is that he got dropped during the World Cup and England won it with Hurst playing CF instead.

Probably Lineker over Shearer... just.

Nah, unless we are voting on the best goal hanger.

If you simply class Lineker as a goalhanger then that probably says all we need to about your footballing opinions.

The amount of goals they scored between them, make them a long way the best two English strikers ever.
After all isn't scoring goals what being the best striker is supposed to be about. Whatever the era.

He didn't get dropped, he was injured and Hurst took over, and Sir Alf kept him in the team. Hurst was decent, but he absolutely got lucky in 1966.

agree with these 2
my granddad was a die hard evertonian...lived near the ground and saw Dean play.
said he was the best CF he ever watched
Ok personally, I would go for Shearer 1st.
Then have , oh man who ended the debate with Greaves.. that’s no fair.
Greaves definitely one of the best in his era but the 2 eras (Greaves era and the PL) are so far apart and different it's hard to compare them. It's bad enough having Lineker in this debate.
