Your personal feel towards them, let’s try not to judge too much. Mine is Alan Shearer, while a PL legend I think people like to fit him in with actual world class strikers…feel like he was good, but played in a very weak PL era. Might be top 2 in the PL but very far behind if we consider the world
I’m a Sunderland fan who thinks Shearer is a wanker and can’t stand the man or the player.
But he was world class and to say it was a weak era or that he was overrated is laughable. I wouldn’t be shocked if the OP bases his footballing knowledge from Fifa and the fact he’s pretty shit on Ultimate Team.
The ‘Premier League record goalscorer’ thing does him a disservice too as he played another 5 top flight seasons as an 18-22 year old before the Premier League and scored 23 goals which aren’t counted towards the record.
How you’ve come to the weak era conclusion is beyond me - his last couple of seasons were bang in the middle of English clubs dominating the Champions League for starters.
