If ever you needed a goal to sum up Shearer's lethal touch as a Blackburn player, this might be it. The ball is floated into Shearer who is has his back to goal and two defenders around him. Within two touches the ball is curled past a motionless keeper.

Goals galore at Ewood Park. Shearer put the icing on the cake with the 7th and an uncharacteristic finish scooping the ball over the Norwich keeper.

Newcastle 2
Portsmouth 0
4 Feb 2006 (64')

Probably the only goal to have made it onto the list mainly for its significance rather than its pure quality. Shearer's 201st Newcastle goal meant the record was his. It was his usual calm and collected finish but celebrations were worth the wait.

Pressure was on at Old Trafford as Newcastle were trying to stay in the game. From the free kick Shearer did the business whacking one in off the bar from distance and past Barthez.

21 Aug 1996 (88')

Alan's very first goal for Newcastle. Time was running out on his home debut, but a free kick slightly left of the D meant  Shearer would have a late try. He stepped up and curled the ball inch perfectly into the opposite top corner.

20 Nov 1993 (77')

An acrobatic volley here. On a counter attack, a cross came in from the right and Shearer attacked the ball near post and whilst horizontal in the air, volleyed the ball in.

Another Rovers goal at number 9, this time a long distance shot against QPR. Shearer picked up the ball well over 20 yards out and simply released an unstoppable shot in off the bar. Even the camera had a hard time keeping up.

Euro 96 in all its glory. Macca played in Gazza, who passed to Sheringham, who feigned a shot and set up Shearer for him to blast the ball in the top corner with the outside of the foot... to the whole nation's delight.

Poland 1
9 Oct 1996 (37')

Back in the starting line-up for his country after a serious injury. In the second half, Batty broke free on the left and lobbed a ball into Shearer's path. Alan was one on one with Baia, but still decided to half volley it from over 20 yards into the top corner.

Newcastle 7
Tottenham 1
28 Dec 1996 (20')

The first of many that day. Alan broke free with the ball up in the air, lobbed it over one defender, held off another two, and still managed to beat the keeper with a neat finish.

Newcastle 2
Chelsea 1
25 Apr 2004 (48')

The second half was only three minutes old, when Viana kicked an innocent ball up the pitch to Shearer. Alan pinned Desailly back, turned and let fly a shot that floated its way past a motionless Chelsea keeper into the Gallowgate end goal.

And the best one of all was also a volley. Time was running out for Newcastle at home vs Everton, and out of the blue Alan came up with a stunning volley from over 20 yards out.
