Best ENGLISH Striker In Football today

[Sin Harvest]

Sorry if this has been done recently.

Who do you think is the best English striker in Football. Now here's what I mean by that:

Best Striker (or Centre-Forward, whatever) that was born in this very country, so if I see anyone saying Thiery Henry, Ruud Van Nisterooy or Adrian Mutu, shame on you (as they were born in France, Holland/Netherlands and Romania respectively, not "good-ol'" Blighty itself).

Also no-one had better put someone like David Beckham, reason being, he is not a striker, he's a midfielder...so there!

I doubt anyone will make that mistake, but I thought I'd try and amuse myself, haha..ha.....ha............ha.................................

Anyway, I'd say its Alan Shearer.

It's hard for me to say for two reasons:
1. He's retired at the international level.
2. He plays for my teams most hated rivals.

He has it all to be honest, doesn't bottle going in for the ball (unlike Michael Owen, he has his moments, but I think he chickens out too often), doesn't fall over the ball or his own feet (unlike Emile Heskey) and he often finishes his strikes (unlike Kevin Phillips ). It's just a damn shame hes retired from England International Football.

Honourable mention: James Beattie.
