#3 Blackburn Rovers vs Crystal Palace - Premier League, August 15, 1992
Alan Shearer made his debut for Blackburn Rovers after signing from Southampton for around £3.5 million, in Blackburn's first game of the inaugural Premier League season.
It wasn't long before he scored his first goal for the club. 67 minutes in fact. Shearer made the score 2-2 when Mike Newell, nodded a long clearance perfectly into his path, and Shearer cushioned the ball on his chest and unleashed a spectacular looped half volley over Nigel Martyn from 25 yards out.
It was a stunning strike and announced Shearer as the premier striker in England. He would soon surpass Gary Lineker as England's main man.
