ICONIC MOMENT
In February 2006, Shearer achieved a lifelong dream
by netting his 201st goal for Newcastle United in a Premier
League game at home to Portsmouth – thereby becoming
his boyhood club’s all-time top scorer, beating the previous
record held by fellow Magpies legendJackie Milburn.

ICONIC MOMENT
Of all the goals that saw Henry win back-to-back European
Golden Shoes between 2003 and 2005, his stunning solo
strike against Liverpool in 2004 stands out. With Arsenal
needing a goal to maintain their invincible record, the France
ace glided through the visitors’ defence before slotting home.

ICONIC MOMENT
There can be no doubting the most infamous moment
of Cantona’s Premier League career: his kung-fu kick on a
Crystal Palace fan that saw him banned for eight months.
His comeback couldn’t have been more perfect though,
firing the side to the1995-96 league title as captain.

ICONIC MOMENT
A serious knee injury in1997-98 meant that Keane
missed most of his first season as Manchester United
captain. He more than made up for it in the following year
though, inspiring his team to an unprecedented treble
of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
