Around 97 Shearer shirts are listed, and the split is clear: about 70 are Newcastle United, 20 are England and only six are Blackburn Rovers — the club where he won the Premier League in 1994-95. Nothing from Southampton, where he began in 1988, appears at all. The dates run from 1994 to 2006, with roughly 75 items from the 1990s, so this page covers the second half of his career rather than the start.
Every shirt here is printed #9, which means the season, not the number, is what you need to identify. The Newcastle listings cluster on the 1995-97 home, 1997-98 and 1998-99 away, 1999-2000 home and away, and 2001-03 home shirts; the England group covers the 1995-97 home, 1997-99 home and 1999-2001 home and away. Shearer joined Newcastle from Blackburn in 1996 for a then world record fee of £15 million and won a third consecutive Golden Boot in his first season there.
This range is in unusually good order: around 40 items are graded Excellent and 17 Mint, with only one at Fair and eight unworn and still tagged. Six are Match Issue and two Player Issue, meaning squad-prepared rather than retail garments, and one entry is an A3 print rather than a shirt. Shearer is the Premier League’s record goalscorer with 260 goals.
