In 1996, Alan Shearer was one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
The Newcastle native was an England regular at Euro '96 and had already scored over 100 Premier League goals for Blackburn and Southampton.
A free-scoring Shearer had interest from Alex Ferguson's Man United and Spanish giants Real Madrid but ultimately decided his future lay with his boyhood club.
The Tyneside-born striker went on to score 206 goals for Newcastle between 1996 and 2006 - a club record to this day.
