Shearer?

Larsson > Shearer ffs

Yup - not a goal a game record, as with Pele and Eusebio. One in every two still isn't too bad though, especially by today's standards.

Denis Law

Came to prominence during the 60's with Man City, Torino and most famously Man United. Scored 300 goals in nigh on 600 games.

how did I know Shearer would be in there? ffs. Not even one of the top 5 players to have played in the premier league, probably wouldn't get in the top 10, though I'm sure you'd disagree.

I didn't say Shearer wasn't an excellent striker - of course he was.

I'm loathe to reduce this to a statistical comparison however as there's too many variables in football to use such a limiting basis for an argument.

Looking more closer to home than Puskas, I would say Ian Rush - a goalscoring phenomenon :thup:

Van Basten - the complete striker. Fast, good in the air, good technique and a great finisher.
