He went on to make 404 appearances for Newcastle, eclipsing Jackie Milburn's record and becoming the club's top goalscorer in the process.
His only major trophy is the Premier League title, which he won with Blackburn in the 1994/95 season.
The striker famously turned down a move to Manchester United in order to join Newcastle.
Shearer's retirement came about earlier than expected when he suffered a knee injury in April 2006.
