It is inevitable that the Premier League's record goalscorer makes his way onto this list.

With an incredible tally of 260 league goals, Alan Shearer is the greatest striker in the history of the English top flight. While he is most fondly remembered by Newcastle United fans, the Englishman became a bonafide star during his time with Blackburn Rovers.

Shearer joined Blackburn in the summer of 1992, departing Southampton in a £3.5 million transfer. He scored 123 goals in 161 appearances for the club, and famously led them to the Premier League title in 1995. Ahead of the 1996-97 season, he was snapped up by Newcastle United, who paid over £15 million for the striker's services.

The Englishman went on to score 206 goals in 405 appearances for the Magpies. He faced Blackburn 15 times, where he scored ten goals and provided two assists. Shearer won six games against his former team, but also endured six defeats.


#1 Harry Kane (Leicester City)

Foxes fans must be absolutely sick of the sight of Harry Kane. The Englishman failed to deliver while on loan at the King Power in 2012-13, but hasn't stopped scoring since departing Leicester City.

In fact, no player in English top-flight history has scored more league goals against the Foxes than Harry Kane. The Tottenham Hotspur superstar played 15 games while on loan at Leicester City, scoring just twice.

He has faced the Midlands club 17 times since then, and has scored a remarkable 18 goals to go with four assists. Sixteen of those goals have come in league fixtures, with Kane finishing on the winning side ten times and losing five.

Some of the England captain's finest displays have come against the Foxes. He scored a hat-trick in a memorable 4-3 Spurs win in 2015. He netted four times as Tottenham thumped Leicester 6-1 in 2017.
