0:31somewhere out there is a chevy truck and the person who drives it well as a chevy person you probably know one your buddy your sister ones who always show up they're the first to rise the last to leave they always have that little extra something and maybe you've got it too chevrolet together let's drive visit chevy.com slash trucks to explore the lineup

1:08Alan Shearer:Hello and welcome to The Rest is Football with Michael Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Linneke. We've got another episode of Premier League greats, the moments that made them. And in this one, we've got someone that was looking like they might challenge certain Alan Shearer's goal-scoring record at one point in the Premier League. I'm sure you've Germany and banging in goals for fun the great Harry Kane there's still time

1:34Gary Lineker:yeah there is he's going back

1:36Alan Shearer:he's not going to come back he could come back why what's the offer you I'm not sure you know exactly the amount 47 is it

1:49so realistically that would take him three seasons if he didn't come back well the way he's scoring goals now two probably

1:55Alan Shearer:if he played he had two 47 he would have But why would he come back just to beat his record? I would, definitely. Go over there, win some trophies, come back. What is he now? He's 32? Yeah. Yeah. So if he does two more seasons there. That's 34. So you think he'd score that amount of goals when he's 35, 36, 37? Three seasons, yeah. Not just Danny Welbeck's still scoring goals, isn't he? Not anything like enough to challenge the likes of... 47 free seasons, he could do that. depending on what team depending on what I just can't I can't see why he would leave Germany he's playing for a great club he's scoring a goal a game on average if not slightly better at present he's you know unless for family reasons homesick something like that but God he'd be treated like a king there they must love him would you not come back now

2:49Gary Lineker:great discussion lads I'm enjoying this I would definitely come back imagine having that tag just for that Premier League top goal scorer. It's got a ring to it. I'm sick of hearing it. This bell's going to so much work. It's just showing me some respect. I really hate you. Oh, hello. How you doing, mate?

3:12Alan Shearer:But the thing is, you know what will happen? He'll come back and Ireland will go past him anyway. Wow. In fact, probably before he comes back. Because he's not going to come back now. He's not going to let him go. Are they Bayern Munich? No, not now. Not now. I mean, you know, if he goes to them and says, I desperately want to go home. I'm a bit homesick. Strange. But then where's he going to go? He's aged, right? So realistically now, we're talking at least 33, probably before he went. Yeah. Maybe 34. Who's going to spend a fortune on a player? There's no, you're not going to get anything back.

3:45Alan Shearer:Spurs? Spurs. Spurs. But that would be two Spurs, wouldn't it? To do that and pin all the hopes on someone in their mid-30s. It's guarantee goals, isn't it? I'm not sure it is when you get to... No. No, no, it's not. I mean, he could do. He could do what Lewandowski's doing. He could do what Ronaldo did. But don't forget Lewandowski's playing for Barcelona. I mean, I don't want to be rude to Tottenham, but we all know in real terms, you finish in the league table roughly equivalent of your spending power and what you buy. I mean, you can talk about great coaches and they prove things and they have good spells at clubs.

4:27Alan Shearer:But generally, it's usually around however much you budget for. And Tottenham, on that scale, they're a mid-table club. And I play for them. I really like Tottenham. And they're a well-run business. But they're not run as a football club. So would they be good enough to do that at that stage? I cannot say it. I think your record's safe until Haarlem beats it. And if Haarlem does stay... Will Haarlem be here long enough?

4:53Gary Lineker:I'm not sure he'll be here long enough. Well, it depends.

4:54Alan Shearer:If something ever happens with 115 charges, if anything ever does happen with that, and then they suddenly get knocked down to lead one or two, which I don't think anything like that will happen. But if something like that happened, then he'd probably leave. And things would change. But given a fair run, if there's not a relegation punishment for Manchester City, if there's any punishment at all, then I think Harlan without any major injuries will at some point beat your and I just want to be alive

5:33Alan Shearer:someone better hurry up because that's going to be one great episode of the rest of this football I'd love that yeah

5:41Gary Lineker:what a player he is do you know what I like about him yeah he's had to do the hard work first as in it didn't it didn't work for him at the beginning. He had to go out on loan, had to work really hard.

5:55Alan Shearer:He went to Orient, Millwall, Leicester and Norwich.

5:58Gary Lineker:Exactly, which tells you how... You know he couldn't get in the Leicester team. Yeah, I know. It's crazy, isn't it? When you think, I mean, his attitude to be knocked down, to be told, not quite good enough, we're going to send you out on loan. Actually, not quite good enough on loan, we're going to send you somewhere else. And then to come back from that and do what he's done and doing is remarkable and then to not only to do it in the Premier League and in Germany to be England captain to do it at the highest level to score and get golden boots and all of this it's

6:31Alan Shearer:I've got so much respect and time from him and he's such a top guy he seems as well really I saw a clip recently you must have seen it we've all seen it but I tend to see it a lot because it's obviously it gets thrown at me a bit have you ever seen the goal where Leicester get a penalty in the last minute and it's basically battling for to go up or to reach the playoffs I think and Leicester get a penalty and it was a dive to be honest the keeper saves it the ball goes right up the other end of the pitch balls crossed Troy Deeney scores that famous goal and there's a there's a little cut on there where on the bench for Leicester of Vardy and Kane oh right yeah couldn't even get on in the Leicester's team and then finally missed the penalty.

7:21Alan Shearer:Knock up. Knock up. He won the penalty although he definitely dived. He definitely dived. Even as a Leicester man I recognise a dive when I see one. Just on that is it dove or dived? Because I've heard people say dove. Is that a word? He dived. Yeah. Dove. Oh he dove. I'm like That's a soap. I thought I dove.

7:47No but is dove a word? Come on It is, you see, it is a word. Other soap brands are available. Unless you want to sponsor us. And then they're definitely available. What? Dove is a word? Yes, dove's a word. He dove head person. Yeah, yeah. He dove. So why do people say... It's the past tense. Yeah, but he dived. People just say dived, don't they? No, he dived. Yeah, but he dove. Do you know what I mean? Well, technically... He dove, that's what I'm saying.

8:16Alan Shearer:He definitely dove. You're the brains in here. No, I'm not. You definitely don't go, he doved. Okay, he dove, past tense, and he dived. Why do people say he dived then? Because that's past tense. Because it's the male version of it. It's she dove, he dived.

8:40Can someone explain that? They're just both.

8:43Alan Shearer:They're abnormally. They're both. There are certain terms that are like that, that both things are... Yeah. Oh, okay. He shined, he shone. There's one. Ah, yes. There you go. So I still have the brains. So you have the brains. Yes. Not. Come on, because they do. I'm like, hmm. It doesn't sound like it, does it? Yeah.

9:08Alan Shearer:This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off, a quick pre-match warm-up from Fuse. Today's question is, which club recorded the most clean sheets in the Premier League last season? Was it A, Manchester City, B, Liverpool, C, Aston Villa, or D, Arsenal? I'm going to play reverse psychology here. Why would you put Villa in there? Is that your answer? No, it's not. I'm going Liverpool. Liverpool. That was a quick change there, wasn't it? Alan who are you going for Villa Mike has sucked you in there hasn't he yes that is not the answer the answer the team that recorded the most clean sheets of which neither of you even gave him a mention you know what I know it I don't know it it's Arsenal because Raya got the golden glove didn't he correct it's Arsenal with 13 clean sheets the best sides don't give things away it should be the same with your energy get more than just lower rates at FuseEnergy.com slash football.

Full terms and conditions at FuseEnergy.com. How important do you think it is for players to maybe go out on loan when they're young? Particularly, I suppose, particularly for a club where you're not getting into the first thing. You're just off the plane, don't you? You didn't have to go on loan, did you? Well... Because you were too good. Well, I did in the end. Did you? You never went on. I never went on a long, yeah. Yeah, I went on a long to Fiorentina, didn't I?

10:47Oh, yeah. Where I played against Harry Kane. Again, we won that game. You played against Harry Kane? No, I was playing up against... I was playing right back. Chadley, I think it was. What was that in Europa? Europa League, yeah. What round? It might have been quarters. Oh, really? Yeah, we got... Then we went to Seville and got absolutely battered. Well, the Spanish clubs won that competition year in, year out. It was so good.

11:15Alan Shearer:All sorts. Seville and Villarreal was so good around that time. Right. Our first moment of... And there are a lot of moments for Harry Kane. There's a lot of great goals in there. That's his first goal in the Premier League. Ericsson. And it's steered in. Harry Kane, who's got into some good positions in this game. First of many. Squad number 37? Yeah. I don't remember him. How many goals you've got to score before you get the number of your choice? It would depend though. Because you lot was horrible though. You know, you senior pros. What do you mean? You lot was horrible. What do you mean? How?

11:55You couldn't come in what cars you wanted. You couldn't get what number. You had to clean boots and all that. Well, that's everyone's an apprentice, you mean? It was nonsense. Absolute nonsense. How am I cleaning someone's boots and I'm better than them? Makes no sense.

12:07Gary Lineker:See, I totally disagree with that. No. It was the best thing ever, the old apprenticeship. Was it? Yeah, cleaning the boots. Cleaning the boots? Cleaning the dressing room. Cleaning your boots would have been...

12:18Alan Shearer:No, cleaning the pro's boots. Yeah, it's good for you. Cleaning, washing the dressing rooms, cleaning the loos. Respect.

12:24Gary Lineker:No, no, you can have respect, but I'm not cleaning your boots. Well, if you were a 16, 17-year-old, you should be doing that. Ooh. It's like military service. Ooh, is it?

12:35Alan Shearer:You used to have to do it. You didn't want to do it, but you have to do it. I mean, nowadays we don't have military service. It might come back. Who knows? They're talking about it. No, I didn't. No. I don't mind getting the boots ready and all that sort of stuff and sorting out the kit and all putting it up, hanging it up. That's like a pleasure. But cleaning someone's boots. Cleaning your own boots. You know what I mean? Clean your own boots. You know, I was in charge of cleaning the first team dressing room at Leicester. Even though the training ground was 10 minutes away, we used the dressing room at Filbert Street.

13:04Alan Shearer:so my job was basically clearing up the kit and mopping the thing clean the looes and all that sort of stuff and add spics back but in those days far different from now i say once again now micah that you only have one training kit which you wore in the week and then at the weekends it will get laundered and washed so and they used to have these hanging baskets and the and i had to find the number on each kit to put on the appropriate hanger. And then we'd put it in a drying room overnight. So if it'd been raining or something like that, blah, blah. Can you imagine what it was like? Someone's like slip of boxes or whatever.

13:44Alan Shearer:And the socks used to just stand up on their own. And the skid marks, mate. And you didn't know which ones were modern, which ones were. Oh, mega. So, I was so... And the stench in the... It stayed with me forever. The stench of the kit by Friday when they'd trained all week. It was, I mean... No. But you know what? It made me hard.

14:13Gary Lineker:That was the last time you were hard, wasn't it? Yay! Oh,

14:19Alan Shearer:here we go. Oh, it went on to the dangly leg.

14:28Gary Lineker:So, Micah doesn't like the idea of cleaning boots anyway. No, it's too good for him. No, I know. It's spoiled, you see. They're sporting nowadays. The kit, our irony kit, all of that, socks perfectly, but boots. Iron socks? I would, yeah. Iron the socks. Make sure they're all crisp. Yeah, I don't mind that. Is that a thing, ironing socks? Where's this going? No, I just wondered. For your kit, yes. Iron them. I don't mind that. Yeah, all right. Washington, Ireland, no problem.

14:56Alan Shearer:Yeah. All right. Our second moment. It was almost a statement-like performance, I think. It was when... It was a great game when Spurs beat Chelsea by, I think, 5-3. Harry scored a couple, got an assist, won a penalty. But, you know, look at him. Harry Kane! Oh, what a goal! One of their own! I mean, he is one of the great long-range finishers, isn't he? Another number, 18. 18, he's getting closer to what he wants.

15:30Gary Lineker:That's just a brilliant solo goal, that. It's got everything about it, hasn't it? The balance and the power and the pace and the ability to go past players with the ball and protect the ball and then get your shot away like that into the corner. Oh, look at that one. It's the second goal. Yeah, I remember that one. What a touch that is. Look at the position he's in though. His first goal is going one side and then he's going into the pocket. Let me say the pocket. Are you all right with that? Get a space. Yeah. And then the finish. That's when you talk about... So Thierry Henry was the first one, really, that I saw who would not stick in his position so he'd be out of the left, wouldn't he?

16:10And then Harry Kane, the way he's been able to develop his game where he's not just a number nine. He's nine and a half, isn't he? He's nine and a half, yeah.
