Alan Shearer, the man who broke and set so
many records. He broke the then British record £3.6m transfer fee with
his move from Southampton to Blackburn in 1992, and then the world
record of £15m with his move to back home, to Tyneside.
Shearer was also the first man to score 30
goals in 3 successive seasons, and he has awards to prove he is still
one of the deadliest strikers around. He was the PFA Player of the Year
for 1994/95 and 1996/97, and the Football Writers' Player of the Year
for 1994/95. But a serious ankle injury saw him sidelined for most of
the 1997/98 season.
But Alan Shearer has come back stronger
than before, and has recently hit the 100-goal mark for Newcastle. |
