Who are the top 5 goalscorers in Premier League history? One number has stood at the top for twenty years: 260. Alan Shearer's record. Harry Kane got within 47 of it and left for Germany. Mohamed Salah got within 67 and left for Turkey. Wayne Rooney played sixteen seasons and still finished 52 short.

This is the full countdown of the five greatest scorers the Premier League has ever seen, and why none of them could catch Shearer.

We cover Andy Cole, the striker Arsenal let go who became the first player to score five in a Premier League game. Mohamed Salah, the Chelsea flop who won four Golden Boots at Liverpool before a messy exit. Wayne Rooney, from "remember the name" at sixteen to Manchester United's all-time record scorer. Harry Kane, 213 goals for Tottenham and not a single trophy. And Alan Shearer, who turned down Manchester United to go home to Newcastle and set a record nobody has touched since.

Then the big question: can Erling Haaland be the one to finally break 260?
