@ Pras Gallagher, I don't think Shearer is overrated. He was a great player and the reason the silly Geordies love him so much is because they saw him every week. He was always a good player for England, he would be perfect for the modern Premiership. You'd be hard pressed to find an informed neutral who could choose between him and Ruud.

Anyway, thanks for all your entries, I will be revealing the correct answer tomorrow evening so their is still time for those who haven't picked their team.

Super Al was good in the EPL, but never tested in Serie A or La Liga so never know really good he was

It beggars belief that both can have been regarded as great players...

But he did very well in La Liga and Serie A, so did Zizou.

What do you think about Phil Neville? 6 premierships, 3 FA Cups, 1 CL. Not bad.

Shearer's goalscoring record in English football is better than 1 in 2. His record in cup football is better than 1 in 2 and his record in Europe is better than 1 in 2. He scored 30 goals for England in 63 games. Overrated textbook striker my arse

Without penalties his record probably isn't even impressive.

My man Ruud scored 33 gls in 64 caps for Holland and counting. If he didn't missed a lot of penalties, his goal scoring record will be much better. Shearer's goalscoring record is better than 1 in 2 my arse
