The former Newcastle United captain is best known for scoring 260 Premier League goals.
He began his career at Southampton before firing Blackburn Rovers to the Premier League title in 1994–95, scoring 34 league goals that season.
In 1996 he joined his boyhood club Newcastle United for a then world‑record £15m and went on to become their all‑time leading scorer.
