He just works so hard in a game... the term Alan Shearer having a bad game is just unheard of. If he doens't score, the amount of time he holds up the ball for play to catch up is amazing. He gets back and clears corners, he hits a lethal free kick and his crosses aint half bad either.

Just you don't see many players like him around today. Roy Keane is a similar calibre of player, but of a different world... being the world of midfield.
