Gary Lineker and Micah Richards ignore Alan Shearer in best striker debate | BBC Sounds

As the Match of the Day: Top 10 team discuss the best all-time Premier League strikeforce, Alan Shearer can't help but feel someone is being left out of the debate. Harry Kane, Sergio Agüero, Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry all get a mention, but what about the Premier League's all-time leading goal scorer?

Gary's little "ohhh" as the lightbulb goes on will be what I come back to whenever I need a laugh!

[elbeekb]

micah knew straight away that he was gonna name himself as soon as he mentioned main centre forward, but Gary didn't get it at all.. he seriously never thought that he was gonna name himself and was so serious about it😂😂😂 thats not an act, its real😂😂

[redred]

Micah is a class human being. They really wound up Shearer so good 🤣🤣

[ConstantineJoseph]

Shearer didn’t need to play for an all star team to get his goal tally up.

Newcastle was a top team then but with Blackburn and Southampton as well he was scoring at record rates.

Imagine if you put him in a great team like Man United, he would have bagged goals for fun

This reminds me of the bit in the UK Office when Brent was doing a staff appraisal with Dawn, and he keeps fishing for her to name him as her most inspiring role model 😂😂

[leebosworth]

Shearer was an absolute nightmare used to score every week nearly

[mbongedanielmoyo]

The way mic and shearer would sigh together at the end of the laugh 😂😂😂😂

[johnmitchell]

Rooney played on the left of a front three for Man Utd over two seasons. So he could play wide. Not sure why Micah was so surprised by that.

[whereweregoingwedontneedroads]

Imagine...shearer, henry and rooney. What a strike force that would have been.

[scholesiefirsttime]

Amazing how Andy Cole is never mentioned in these discussions - if he was United’s penalty taker he’d definitely be a lot, lot closer to Shearer, in a lot less games.

56/260 of Shearer’s goals were pens. 22%

30/210 of Kane’s goals were pens. 14%

27/184 of Aguero’s goals were pens. 15%

[dardobartoli]

If ever I'm a bit low... these soon make me smile.

[AidilMirza]

Ohh… that was so pure and serious. What’s gem of a moment.

[davex]

Shearer didn't care about the goalkeeper in that net. He'd nearly take the net off regularly. One of my childhood idols and it seems underrated 🤷‍♂️

Gary Lineker of all people to not mention Shearer. Kinda crazy.

[vmforno]

what a beast was Shearer making goal after goal. but coming to the discussion Giggs is one that I would take anytime Henry is tired.

[tgdkls]

Honestly people really can't open their eyes. Imagine any of these other lads becoming the PL all time top scorer, while a) having two career-threatening surgeries, and b) spending their entire career at Southampton, Blackburn and Newcastle. It sounds ridiculous that anyone could be #1 in that context, but he was.

[moz]

Id take prime Shearer over either Kane or Aguero all day long.

[rankobarensic]

Love the English banter😂😂...greetings from Holland ❤

[dvtflyguygreen]

This made my day I am not gonna lie 😂😂😂

[venners]

As an Everton fan Shearer hands down the best cf. Playing for Newcastle he bagged 30 a season. Imagine him with Haaland’s service.

[RobertBayliss-xe]

Aguero is just a natural killer in a big game. Kane just seems to go missing
