Characteristics of play

Strong Point

Shearer was often styled as a classic English centre-forward, owing to his strength, physical stature, heading ability and strong shot.

Moreover, Of his 206 Newcastle goals, 49 of them were scored with his head. A lot of people think his head’s play is his veritable strong point.

To finish, Shearer was noted as a proficient penalty taker for both club and country, and he scored 45 times from the spot for Newcastle. He also scored 5 goals from free-kicks for this club.

Weak Point

During all of his career, his playing style brought him criticism; most commonly that his play was too physical, and that he used his elbows too aggressively; it was this which contributed to both of his sendings off, although one was later rescinded on appeal.
As well as the two red cards, Shearer received 59 yellow cards during his career.
