Like I say, Shearer is the perfect example. He chose with his heart rather than head and went to Newcastle. He could have won trophies for years and years but chose to go and win nothing there. Similar to Kane, when he retires no one will say he was a top top striker (unless you’re English).
When people mention the top strikers ever no one mentions Shearer. As I say, unless you’re English.
Just like Messi’s poor international record doesn’t effect his reputation.
