As a youngster he had pace skill, could whip defenders and bang in screamers from outside the box for fun... Chris sutton looked world class next to Shearer, nothing without him.

As he aged and through the injuries he changed his came, when his pace went he became the old fasion tough hold up forward and was still one of the best scores in the league...

The guy played with his heart on his sleave in every match, never give up, never stopped, was never one to dive or really bitch or whine about anything.
While I disagree with PREME's lust for broken bones, I do agree with his lust for Shearer. He was a legend and I think that his choice of sticking with losing teams only adds to his excellence... Shearer is an all time great...
