This week marks 28 years since Alan Shearer signed for Newcastle United.
Arriving from Blackburn Rovers to his boyhood club, he went on to net 148 Premier League goals for the Magpies to take his tally to 260 in total – an amount that hasn’t been beaten.
And for anyone who needs a reminder of just how devastating a finisher Shearer was, look no further.
A legendary spell on Tyneside began for @alanshearer on this day in 1996 ⚫️⚪️
He arrived at @NUFC having already scored 112 Premier League goals, and the 148 he added in black and white still have him at the top of the all-time scoring charts 📊 pic.twitter.com/TyP74okScD
