Absolute dominance. Saying that, I'd love to see one that's for the top flight and not just the PL.

Jimmy's record is pretty stunning by any comparison! Always thought he was under rated and certainly Sir Alf didn't think he'd fit his England style.

Loving these, what a machine Shearer was, so consistent. It’s hard to imagine anyone breaking his record surely both for Newcastle and the Premier League?

 

I’m not being biased when I say this: I’ve yet to see a better more complete and rounded goal scoring centre-forward combined than Shearer in my time following football. A player who in his prime was the best pound for pound striker and most able finisher in the world at that time for my money.

 

An elite all in one centre-forward and goalscorer the type of which there have not been too many much better than him past or present in the history of British football and indeed world football and we won’t see too many more much better than him either. He was that good, right up there with the all-time great centre-forwards of world football IMO.
