Ep 9 - Alan Shearer

In this episode of How Good Were They?, we dive deep into the career of Alan Shearer, the Premier League’s all-time top scorer with a staggering 260 goals. From his explosive rise at Southampton, to his title-winning heroics at Blackburn Rovers, and his legendary status at Newcastle United, Shearer’s story is one of goals, grit, and loyalty.

We break down his stats, his iconic hat-tricks, and his trademark celebration — that famous one arm in the air. But was Shearer truly a complete striker, or just a ruthless finisher?

The curveballs come in: Did his loyalty to Newcastle cost him more silverware? Would his style thrive in today’s faster, more technical Premier League? And how does his record stand in an era dominated by players like Haaland and Kane?

With quotes from teammates, opponents, and managers, plus fan opinions and a deep dive into his legacy, we ask the ultimate question: Was Alan Shearer one of the greatest strikers in football history, or simply the Premier League’s sharpest poacher?
