Agree that Gallagher should be on the list. Milburn should be higher on the vid's list, IMO; especially since he won 3 FA Cups w/The Toon. Who was greater between Milburn & Shearer is tough 2 call. They really were 2 diff. types of forwards, especially the version of Shearer that we got during most of his career w/Newcastle.
You need to take out Mira from your list & Tino n'all (cos he was capable of greatness but blew hot & cold). Beardsley is without doubt the best united player of the last 30 years, so he goes in as does Hughie Gallagher.
Then change the order to be as follows:
Shearer
Milburn
Beardsley
Gallagher
Ferdinand
...and then you'll be on the right lines (although Ferdinand being included is debatable). Great player, but top 5 all time toon striker? Not certain by any means if you ask me.
Shearer = better striker (he's higher in my list of best Toon strikers ever).
BUT
Beardsley = better all-rounder. Shearer was past his best most of his time at Toon cos of injury, but we had Beardsley for 2 brilliant spells as youngster then under KK as the complete player and pro. Don't get me wrong I think Shearer was magic and it was a privilege to watch a master at work when he played but IMO Beardsley was more than a striker. For every one he scored he made 2 or 3 for others.
true... but most footballers nowadays is more physical than the older days
for instance.... if you looked at andy carrol and milburn play next to each other , you would see that carrol is more toughened up.
milburn is not to the football they play as today , but if milburn WAS playing to the modern football , it would be a tough call to compare milburn to shearer
Love the comments about my Grandfather, Hughie Gallacher. He should have been on there without doubt

143 goals in only 174 appearances

if it wasn't 4 ww 2 then the best scorer i think would be albert stubbins. His strike record for nufc was 109%

how was beardsley better than shearer.

Well IMO
Shearer = better striker (he's higher in my list of best Toon strikers ever).
BUT
Beardsley = better all-rounder. Shearer was past his best most of his time at Toon cos of injury, but we had Beardsley for 2 brilliant spells as youngster then under KK as the complete player and pro.

For every one he scored he made 2 or 3 for others.

so at his best was shearer better than beardsley plus shearer was the complete attacker as well he was not just a great goalscorer.
thetoon99 3 years ago
ROFL I've answered this once already.
Of the two, Shearer was the better striker, but IMO Beardsley was the better all round player.

what made peter better and don't say he created more did peter have more ablity than shearer.
thetoon99 3 years ago
he had more ability.
he had more to his game than scoring goals.
he wasn't past his best when he was at toon.
he created more.

thetoon99 3 years ago
