He’s one of the Premier Leagues’ best scorers scoring a whopping 260 goals leaving many dumbfounded.

Shearer started his football career in 1988 through South Hampton.

He also went on to win two consecutive Premier League Golden Boots, and in 1996 he went on to join his hometown club Newcastle United for a whopping £15 million. He led the team to the 1998 and 1999 FA Cup Finals and took the title of becoming the club’s best scorer. Unfortunately for us, Shearer’s glory had come to an end in the 2005 to 2006 season as he retired.

Cristiano was born in 1985 and has to be one of the most famous players to hit the football field. Ronaldo began his career at Sporting CP, and in 2003 he moved to Manchester United, making his mark by winning the FA Cup in his first season with the team.

Between 2014 and 2018, Ronaldo became a key component in the trio consisting of himself, Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema, which led to the team winning four Champions League wins, including the Decima. 

Around this period, Ronaldo was also winning multiple Ballon d’Or awards, which only added to his career and aided in becoming one of the best players the world has ever seen.
