Do you remember him? He was simply the best!

Alan Shearer was a complete footballer. He wasn’t just a striker he was the team inspirer and the team leader! He had an eye for the goal and excellent positioning on the pitch, solid physics, powerful shot and great technical skills.
He started his career at Southampton FC in 1988. He made his debut at age of 17 in the home game against Arsenal at The St. Mary’s Stadium and bagged a hat-trick, becoming the youngest striker to score three goals in an English First Division game. He played in 118 games and scored 23 goals for The Saints until 1992 when he was bought by Blackburn.
Shearer scored 112 league goals in 138 games for Rovers. His biggest success at Blackburn was the Premier League title in season 1994/95. Shearer found the net on 34 occasions of 42 games. That was his best period in The English Premiership. He scored more than 30 goals in three season in a row. Then, in 1996 he moved to Newcastle United, where he played until the end of his career in 2006. The attacker appeared in 303 league matches and found the net on 148 occasions. He helped The Magpies pass their first group in The Champions League (season 2002/03), but the club was eventually eliminated in the second group stage.
He became Premier League runner-up with The Magpies in season 1996/97 and reached The FA Cup final twice, but couldn’t win the trophy.
For the English national team, he debuted in 1992 against France (even scored a goal) and played until 2000. Alan Shearer scored 30 goals in 63 games for The Three Lions. The striker holds the record for the biggest number of goals scored in the Premier League (260). He took part in three major international competitions (Euro 1996 and 2000 and FIFA World Cup 1998). Shearer helped England to reach the semi-finals of The Euro 1996 and became the tournament’s top goal-scorer with 5 goals.
The legendary striker has many individual prizes. He won The UEFA Euro Golden Boot in 1996, Premier League Player of the season (1995) and many other.
