ALAN SHEARER:MASTERCLASS

One of the game's finest & purest strikers Alan Shearer has won it all & done it all in the game of football.One of the most successful players in the Premier League History Shearer has won the the coveted winners medal by winning the English Premier League with Blackburn Rovers though he felt short of accomplishing the same feat with the club the spent most time of his glorious career with Newcastle United.Alan Shearer has been the record goalscorer in the EPL history with 260 goals & 422 in all competitions.He was thus awarded the Football Writers Association Player of the year in 1994 & the PFA player of the year award in 1995.Shearer had a goal to game ratio at 0.667 throughout his career which is mighty impressive besides he also won the golden boot in the EPL a record 3 times only behind another great Theiry Henry.Shearer has amassed many a records in the Premier League history owing to which he became one of the top players in tha game at that time.Alan Shearer a fan favourite thus was also a regular in the England National Squad.Shearer who was a centre forward was insanely strong with brute power,ferocious speed & the heading ability owing to which he scored so many goals.
In his  illustrious career spanning over 18 years he played for top clubs like Southampton,Blackburn Rovers & Newcastle United.His career had a few controversies though like his aggresive style of play & him being charged for misconduct by the FA besides his  feud with United Legend Roy KeaneHe was offered a record offer to either join Manchester United or Newcastle United, but he chose the latter for 15m pounds & didn't win a single championship throughout his playing days in Newcastle United.Alan Shearer had some of his most destructive & majestic years when he played with the Magpies.He could never really win a trophy at the club he used to hero worship since his childhood but he even managed the club for a single season when the team was in shambles but couldn't do much as Newcastle were relegated to tier-2.The 10 glorious years he spent at St.James Park are still remembered by his loyal fans.Many of the game's great have named him in their elusive all time great sqaud,he is even listed in FIFA 100,as one of the 100 greatest players ever to play the game of football.A personal favourite player of mine i always respected Alan Shearer,he was always a hero & a legend to me..My personal favourite Alan Shearer goal remains the goal he scored against Manchester United in 2004 at St.James Park,it was perhaps one of his many great goals.Personal Favourite Moment includes the time when he reitred he went to the bench and then came again & scored against Celtic Glasgow in his testimonial match where he scored a penalty also the Euro competition held in 1996 where he was the top scorer with 5 goals.It is quite hard to sum up Alan Shearer's genius & his maverick abilities in words but he surely will remain as one of the game's greatest players to have ever played the game.Alan Shearer#respect#foreverNewcastleFC
