Again that's more of a post 97 description, a Blackburn Shearer would make it to the sea.
One of the reasons I enjoyed seeing Shearer play was because he didn't have all the silky flair yet still came up with the numbers. Interesting you bring up Batigol, I always felt they were pretty much made from a very similar mould.
In those 3 full seasons Bellamy was at Newcastle, Shearer averaged 20 goals that weren't pens. Harsh to say it was just "here and there".
