Amazing finish. The premier leagues greatest ever striker and we had the pleasure of watching him do that. He was a machine.

Viana, Robert, Dyer, Solano, Shearer, Bellamy and Ameobi all on the pitch there. Don't think Bobby was attacking enough chasing that game.

The Everton volley is one of those goals where somehow it’s even more spectacular on viewing than it was witnessing it live in the flesh.

 

I wasn’t alive to see Milburn’s in the FA Cup QF vs Pompey in ‘52, nor Supermac’s legendary goal vs Leicester, but have heard them retold in tones of awe.  I wonder if they were like Shearer’s volley - somehow the memory and retelling doesn’t quite recapture just how hard, fast and accurate that strike was

Glad he had a far happier evening yesterday than on Saturday evening and having Lineker rubbing it into him on Sunday.

 

Seen clips of him watching like any true fan would yesterday. His twitter was cool too.

Apologies for bumping such an old topic.

 

But I didn't realise that Alan Shearer scored 13 goals for Southampton in the 91/92 season, which was the season before the introduction of the Premier League.

 

Which puts him on 273 goals, not 260.

 

I would strongly argue that back then it was not a huge leap in quality, essentially a name change and a media shift.

 

I think Shearer legitimately has 273 goals, not 260.

 

Another stumbling block for Harry Kane, although I hope he beats it, despite the fact we all know with better teammates Shearer would have like 400.

In the Premier League he has 260 goals. That's a fact, you can't say he has any more than that because he scored some 'just before' the Premier League was formed. :)

You are correct.

 

I probably shouldn't have have said anything.

 

My bad.

I think what's arguable is whether it really matters, re. that it's a Premier League record. No-one is anywhere near the real top flight record holders!

I agree, opens a whole new argument.
