Craig Reaper: 2002, Alan Shearer goals

 

My favourite memory of Alan Shearer was on Boxing Day in 2002, playing against Bolton at The Reebok. Expectations for both sides were high before the game and it was the most attacking game I have seen in the flesh.

Final score was 4-3 to Bolton, but the quality of the goals was directly in opposition to some of the defending! Both sides went for it for the entire match and it was always going to leave space on the pitch for scoring possibilities.

At least three of the goals were scored from outside the box, but both of Alan Shearer's brace were rockets! In the age of the professional game, it still stands out as being the ultimate in entertainment & a fitting tribute to the toughest number 9 Wanderers have played against in my 30+ years of watching The Trotters!

A fabulous advert for the Premier League and a great Centre Forward.
