Which two strikers did Berbatov mimic?
“And then raising my hand because my idol was Marco van Basten and Alan Shearer. When I score a goal, I was raising my hands to try to pay respect in the way I was doing that, when scoring goals.”
Van Basten was an unbelievable striking talent with Ajax and AC Milan, with his far-post volley against USSR in the 1988 European Championship final, from ex-Red Arnold Muhren’s cross, one of the all-time classic international goals.
Shearer, of course, also needs little introduction after his exploits for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. He is currently still the Premier League’s all-time leading marksman.
Book your seat for the Theatre of Dreams on Saturday 21 May to see Berba’s return in the Legends of the North fixture against Liverpool.
