Shearer's career in photos
1 of 16
Alan Shearer starts out at Southampton in 1988 and quickly rises through the ranks before moving to Blackburn in 1992
2 of 16
A hatful of goals from Shearer steers Blackburn to the League title in 1995 and confirms the striker as a top transfer target
3 of 16
Newcastle are the club to agree a bumper £15m fee that brings Shearer to St James' for the start of the next season
4 of 16
The new signing is quick to repay the record investment with a goal against Wimbledon in his second League start
5 of 16
Shearer enjoys good form in his first season in the black and white, bagging two goals in the Magpies' 7-1 rout of Spurs
6 of 16
While a hat-trick against Leicester adds to a season haul of 25 league goals and a second-place Premiership finish
7 of 16
After injury limits Shearer's 1997/8 season, a brace against Spurs sees Newcastle as far as the FA Cup final in 1999
8 of 16
And Shearer is still in the scoring mood later in the same year, bagging five during an 8-0 drubbing of Sheffield Wednesday
9 of 16
Two goals against Man Utd early in 2000 show it is not just Premiership minnows that suffer from his deadly finishing
10 of 16
While a Champions League hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen in 2003 stamps his authority on the European stage
11 of 16
With Michael Owen arriving at St James' in 2005, Shearer's hunt for elusive silverware with Newcastle continues
12 of 16
But Shearer's place in club history is ensured when he equals Jackie Milburn's club goalscoring record in July in the FA Cup
13 of 16
And the newly appointed deputy finally breaks Milburn's record, netting against Pompey for his 201st Newcastle goal
14 of 16
An Easter-Monday trip to big rivals Sunderland affords him the opportunity to net his 206th goal from the penalty spot
15 of 16
But with his side firmly on top, a tackle from Julio Arca floors Shearer and inflicts the career-ending knee injury
16 of 16
The results of an X-ray determine the striker has played his last match for the Magpies
