My Illustrated Career Summary

My Illustrated Career by Alan Shearer

Following his debut for Southampton in 1991, Alan will be choosing the best photographs that highlight his finest moments in the game, and working alongside Dave Harrison, he will caption each of them as well as provide an extended introduction on the clubs and countries he has played against, players he's faced, and the characters he's met along the way. His Newcastle United coach and fan - Sir Bobby Robson, will provide the foreword. This will be the only book anyone will need to fully appreciate the career of one of the game's greatest players, who is acclaimed as one of the last great true centre forwards.

About Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer was a goal scoring machine in his prime, the first player to score 100, and 200 goals in the English Premier league, and still number one on the all time scoring charts. He was revered by the various clubs he played for, with his never-say-die attitude to the game, and the many spectacular goals he scored. He has played with some of the greats of the English game over the past 15 years - Paul Gascoigne, John Barnes, Reo Ferdinand, Michael Owen, David Seaman, and of course, David Beckham. He was captain of England, and of his beloved club, Newcastle United for ten years, and was seen as a totemic influence for both. When he played well, they won, simple as that. Sir Bobby Robson is a true legend of the game, having won major trophies both home and abroad. His spirit is mirrored in Alan Shearer, a player he rates as one of the best centre forwards in his time.
