Alan Shearer will undoubtedly be remembered for years from now as being one of the greatest English strikers ever, and it is clear to see the capabilities he had to brag about when looking at goals like this one. Spotting a ball bouncing on the edge of the box, Shearer lines up his run perfectly to match the ball before it lands and lets fly a volley right across the face of the goal, leaving it to nestle in the top corner and triggering a roar of ecstasy from 50,000 Geordies.
The combination of beautiful technique and ferocious power personifies Shearer’s remarkable skills and this goal is a beautiful illustration of just how good he was.
