Premier League legends Shearer, Kane, Rooney lead the goals list Shearer scored 260 Premier League goals during his remarkable career with Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, and that figure's even more impressive when you consider his first professional seasons were played prior to the Premier League era with Southampton. Wayne Rooney's incredible career, played almost entirely in the Premier League, saw him become the second player to bag 200+ goals in the competition.
