He's one of the greats, and he is underrated. I think he is probably the only striker who can score any kind of goal. Probably a long with Van Basten and Shevchenko. One of the best using his head, the greatest penalty taker and just a attitude to football. Sad to see him retire.

Shearer is without doubt one of the greatest strikers England has produced, his goalscoring record speaks for itself, all time highest goalscorer in the premiership, breaks Jackie Milburns scoring record at Newcastle. The fact that he was loyal to the club he supported as a kid is something else you don't often see in todays game. Trophies? George Best won 2 first division titles with Manchester United and that was it, does that make him any less of a footballing legend?????
Measure Shearer by the quantity of goals scored, not by trophies.

Yes granted, shearer was an exellent scorer, but I don`t necessarily think that he was the best, he was amongst the best. It would be nice to see him continue playing but all good things must come to an end. Who knows how many little shearers are waiting in the wings to take his place!!!

No doubt Shearer was a great striker BUT...
He was no where near The Best

Personally I like Ruud Van Nistelrooy....i don't know squat about soccer but that's the greatest name ever.
