Shearer scored 379 goals in 734 appearances over the course of his 19-year professional career, which including spells at Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and most famously Newcastle United.

The former England international remains the all-time record goalscorer in the Premier League with 260 goals - 52 clear of his closest rival, former Everton and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
