"In my time in football, he's the best centre-forward the English game has ever had.

I’m sure Alan’s not too concerned about my opinion, but I consider him to be the best goalscorer and amongst the best players I’ve seen in my time watching football.
He is still the complete centre-forward and is arguably in the best form of his Newcastle career.
I reckon he’s got another 100 or so goals in him and a couple against Juventus would be a nice start!
