Alan Shearer Way is a thanks from Blackburn council for the efforts of the GOALden Boy during Blackburn Rovers' Premier League title win in 1995.
Despite a glittering career that saw him the highest Premier League goalscorer of all time, that was the only winning medal he ever picked up.
He scored 34 goals in that 1995 campaign, before signing for Newcastle United that same summer for a world record £15m.
THE TOON'S GREATEST 100 PLAYERS ... EVER!

Available from M&M News, in Newcastle.
This book is a collection of the 100 Greatest Newcastle United players of all time, as voted for by NewcastleUtd-Mad.co.uk readers and a panel of journalists who contribute to the website. The players are in an order of five-per-chapter, counting down from 100 to Newcastle United's greatest ever player (as viewed by the author), but the whole point of the book is for YOU (the reader) to decide who goes where. The list is not, by any means, definitive. As with all books of this nature, whether it be "Greatest Albums"; "Best Movies Of All Time"; or "Top 100 Pin-Ups Of The Year" ... no two people have exactly the same opinion. There will be controversy over who is on the list, and chances are, more controversy over who is not. Here are the best of the best. I have painted the picture with each player's profile. Where they end up in the league of NUFC's Greatest is up to you. Because YOU have the final word.
