                                   Shearer became the most expensive player in the world
                                   when he was transferred from Blackburn Rovers to
                                   Newcastle United for a  sum of 1.5m pounds
                                   in summer of 1996. He is the first player to score
                                   more than 30 goals in 3 consecutive seasons in the
                                   English Premier League and the 1st one to score
                                   100 goals in the Premiership. As a top scorer in
                                   Euro'96 with 5 goals, he is likely to be Gary
                                   Lineker's successor as the top striker of his
                                   country.
