Some would argue that it is a crying shame that two of the finest goal-scorers English footballers have ever produced fail to get on, but there are strong reasons as to why.
Michael Owen and Alan Shearer have enjoyed incredibly contrasting careers. The former has tasted the success that comes with playing for some of the biggest clubs on the planet, with Owen boasting the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United on his CV.
On the other hand, Shearer is famed for his fierce loyalty and devotion to one club. Sure, he won a Premier League with Blackburn, but almost everyone's memory of the top flight's highest scorer comes while he is donning the black and white of boyhood club Newcastle.
