You know there’s a paucity of strikers on Planet Earth when a decent-but-hardly-prolific Dominic Calvert-Lewin is being touted as a £60million buy for West Ham.
Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, Les Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Teddy Sheringham and me all played in an era in which strikers had to score 25 goals in a season just to get into an England squad, never mind to be touted for a big-money move.
But these days it seems you can be a £60m striker with a goalscoring record of one in four if a club thinks you could help them get into Europe.
