Premeir League's Greatest Striker? Who is the Best Ever!!

Alan Shearer is the all-time leading scorer after smashing 260 goals during his career.

Sergio Aguero scaired his 150th Premier League goal after putting his club side back to the top of the league tanle by thrasing Southhampton 6-1 on Sunday.
The Man City hit man is the eighth in the divison's all top scorers, and has much to give if he wants to catch Alan Shearer, who has smached record of 260 goals!!
Andy Cole, Frank Lampard, Thierry Henry, Robbie Fowler all features high on the list and Wayne Rooney who left England's top-flight with 208 goals tagged on his name.
WHO IS THE PREMIER LEAGUES BEST-EVER STRIKER
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Arsenal's Thierry Henry the same.
All three had the ability to take a game and change it with a moment of complete brilliance.
But, even so, it is surely impossible to look beyond record goalscorer Alan Shearer when we debate the Premier League's top striker of all time, quite simply because of the remarkable numbers he produced.
Shearer scored 260 goals in 441 appearances for Blackburn and Newcastle- astonishing figures - and there's a very good reason he hasn't yet been toppled.
Tottenham's Harry Kane might beat him one day, given his goals to games ratio, but he'll have to keep doing it season in, season out for several more years even before he gets close.
John Cross-Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba


I'm torn between Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba.
Henry for his sheer brilliance, he was so prolific and was simply unstoppable at his best. He put Arsenal on a different level, amazing player.
Some of his goals when he just ran past the whole opposition... he just left you breathless.
But then Drogba was just the best of his type - the centre forward, leader of the line, the striker who moulded a new way of playing with the lone striker.
I also think Drogba scored big goals, he was the ultimate big game player and a wonderful character as well.
Learned from mistakes and has become a force for good off the field with his foundation and work in the Ivory Coast.
I'm still torn
Neil Moxley-Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer is the premier all time top scorer

He scored all types of goals, headers, tap-ins, volleys....with either foot and from all sorts of distances.

He was brave, led the line well and if he hadn’t suffered from a cruciate knee problem, he would have been half-a-yard quicker and bagged even more.
For the last few years of his career he wasn’t playing in a free-scoring Newcastle United side, either.
And one other thing. In terms of Premier League goals scored (260) he’s the best. By a distance.
Aaron Flanagan- Sergio Aguero


It’s criminal how undervalued Sergio Aguero really has been in the Premier League era. Perhaps he will have to leave Man City for it to be completely clear just how much of an influence he has.
Maybe Aguero has been hindered by the fact that you never see anything about his social life, the fact that he is never a story away from the pitch. Even when he is playing, the story is often that Man City have played well (again) and not Aguero.
He has only ever once been named in the PFA Team of the Year, which is criminal. He has been the Premier League’s best striker in numerous seasons, but does not get the top level recognition he deserves.
Aguero has been a class act and for me, has been the best in my lifetime.
Neil McLeman- Thierry Henry

The France striker did not score as many top-flight goals as Alan Shearer or three other Englishman but Henry was the best. He personified the glamour and glitz of the Premier League and scored some of the greatest goals ever seen.
He is the top-scoring foreign player and his strike rate of 0.68 goals per Premier League is level with Aguero - and bettered only by Harry Kane.
But Henry - with pace and power and skill and grace - was always about more than numbers.
Jon Livesey-Duncan Ferguson


If we're talking about ability and presence, the Big Yin was right up there with the best.
Duncan Ferguson had the lot. Strong, mobile and devastating in the air, he had a wand of a left foot and a deft touch to boot.
Just ask Rio Ferdinand. Dunc made England's Rolls-Royce look like an old Mini as he bullied him to score the winner at Goodison Park in 2005.
Like all the greatest players, he raised it a notch or two when facing the best in the league. He absolutely loved playing against Liverpool and Man United .
Had he stayed injury free, his name would be much, much higher in the top scorer chart. For me, he's the best.
Darren Lewis-Alan Shearer
Alan Shearer

With so much quality to choose from the result can only really be a photo-finish between the likes of Johnny-on-the-spot Alan Shearer, classy Thierry Henry, combative Ian Wright, the genius of Luis Suarez and merciless Didier Drogba.
Wayne Rooney at his best would be in there too and it's easy to forget just how deadly the likes of Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler and Ruud van Nistelrooy were.
Sergio Aguero has been key to Manchester City's three title wins. But I'd stay with Shearer: Deadly in the air, ice in his veins on the deck. Maybe not as flamboyant as the likes of Henry or Aguero and missed out on the silverware he should have had when he chose to become the icing on the cake at Old Trafford in 1996 instead of joining Newcastle.
Despite that, he is still the Premier League's all-time record goalscorer. Quality.

Didier Drogba would get me off my seat in his Chelsea heyday in a way few other players did before him or have done since.
