Alan Shearer to Man Utd

|

Sir Alex Ferguson first tried to sign Shearer in 1992 when he was at Southampton, but instead free-spending Blackburn spent £3.3 million of Jack Walker’s money on the British transfer record move. Shearer won the title with Blackburn– beating United into second place – and scored 112 goals in 138 games before leaving to hometown team Newcastle United for another record fee, £15 million, once again spurning the chance to move to Old Trafford. Love over money – but you have to suspect he regretted it with hindsight?
