#27: Alan Shearer
21 April 2004
A couple of seasons back, the pundits and press were writing Shearer
off.
Too old. Past it. How wrong they were: he found his shooting boots with
a
vengeance. If it's possible to find something in a vengeful manner. And
he
found his, er, his 'heading' head too. That makes him sound like he has
a
selection of heads like Wurzel Gummidge, doesn't it. But he scores
quite a
few with his head, so the 'shooting boots' thing wouldn't apply, would
it,
unless he had a great big third boot which he wore like a hat.
Not only were people wrong to write him off for footballing reasons,
they
forgot that the older you get, the more malleable your skin and facial
muscles become. The proof is right here, reader: strange Mr Spock
eyebrows
top off the best pair of vinegar-stroke eyes you'll see in the
Premiership,
and will you just look at the angle of the jaw. I promise you I
haven't tinkered with that in Photoshop - it's just the man's class
showing
through.
