After two seasons with the young squad, Alan Shearer made his professional debut for Southampton on 26 March 1988 as a substitute against Chelsea. He began his full debut two weeks later against Arsenal where he scored a hat trick, helping the team to a 4–2 victory. At 17 years and 240 days, Alan Shearer became the youngest player to score a hat trick in the top division.
His great performances during the 1990-1991 season allowed him to integrate, in the summer 1991, the England national under -21 football squad in an international tournament in Toulon. Shearer was the star of the tournament where he scored seven goals in four games.
After five seasons to Southampton where he scored 43 goals in 158 appearances, Alan Shearer was sold to Blackburn Rovers for a fee of £3.3 million.
