#4 Alan Shearer - Newcastle United - 148 goals
This man needs no further introduction. A goals-to-game ratio of 0.667 portrays his hunger, intent and desire to score goals, goals and goals. There was nothing Alan Shearer could not do on the football pitch.
Often remarked and styled as a traditional centre-forward of England, Shearer owned fantastic shot-power, positional ability, movement off the ball and heading capability. All of these coupled with near-perfect balance and physicality made him one of the most feared strikers of the game.
He scored 260 Premier League goals, a record touched by no one else yet. Out of the 206 he netted for the Magpies, 148 were in the league. A loyal servant of the club he was indeed, as he carried the side to the top division and went on to score massive goals for them till they became a formidable opposition.
With one arm in the air pointing towards heaven, the 48-year-old's statue outside St. James' Park symbolizes his legendary status and eternal presence on the club and the game.
