## Summary

Alan Shearer says he expects the Premier League goalscoring record to be broken eventually, with Erling Haaland a possible successor if he stays at Manchester City. Shearer’s 260 goals remain the benchmark, but he says he will enjoy holding the record while it lasts.

In an interview marking 20 years since his retirement, Shearer reflected on leaving Newcastle aged 15, returning to play for his boyhood club and becoming one of its most celebrated players. He scored 206 goals in 405 appearances for Newcastle and won the Premier League with Blackburn; the article also discusses his later work as a Match of the Day pundit.
