One of my fave Shearer goals is one he scored in a 7-1 win at home to Spurs, a ball over the top he chased down and out muscled several defenders before smashing it past Walker I think.
As a finisher, Shearer could do the lot. There isn't a goal he couldn't score. When he was at Blackburn he even dribbled/junked past players to score. Technically his finishing was of the highest standard possible. Left or right foot, side foot, laces, volley, half volley, free kicks, curlers, blasters, toe pokes.
He connected with that ball so well, the Spurs semi-final goal a prime example.
I can't quite remember who said it but it basically went along the lines of 'you look at Shearer and he looks old and slow, but he is quicker than anyone to a ball in the box or with his head.' This was in his final few years.
I also remember a quote from Maldini in the build-up to France 98 in a Shoot interview type thing that asked him which striker in world football he feared the most and he said Ronaldo and Shearer, the two finest centre-forwards of that generation for me.
