ALAN SHEARER can hit another goalscoring milestone today at the club where he won his only Premiership title.

The Newcastle United skipper returns to Blackburn Rovers hoping to grab his 300th club goal on the Ewood Park pitch where he made a massive name for himself.

But Shearer, a record £15m signing from Rovers, admits that creating another record for his scrapbook is no longer at the forefront of his mind.

"It would be great if I scored there and we were on the winning team," said the Premiership's all-time leading scorer with 209. "I do not want to sound direspectful and boastful about myself but I get a different record thrown in front of me every week.

"I'm far more interested in getting the three points.

"I've got some videos of some of my goals but if I'm being honest I don't even know where they are. They have probably got the Tweenies or something on them now."

Shearer, who left Rovers in July 1996, has received a warm welcome in recent seasons and he is hoping for more of the same today.

"I have had a much better relationship with them since going back there over the past couple of years and I thank them for that," said Shearer, who scored 139 of his goals while at Blackburn.

"There's no reason for it to change again and I hope it doesn't. The first couple of times I was disappointed with it, but it has got better."

Newcastle chief Sir Bobby Robson believes Blackburn would be the perfect place for Shearer to reach another record.

He said: "Blackburn was a very important part of Alan's professional life and he did wonderfully well there.

"I'm sure they have a high regard for Alan and for what he did for them. And what a place for him to score his 300th.

"It would also be nice if we could delay the goal, still win at Blackburn then he can score the goal at Newcastle. That would be brilliant."

"It's an historic moment and one I'm sure he will be proud of."

The 32-year-old front-man is still firing in important strikes - in his club's last outing he grabbed both goals in a 2-1 win over West Brom.

But Shearer revealed he has had to alter his style of play in recent seasons after serious knee problems.

He said: "I have had to change because of what's happened to me injury wise. I was running into corners when I was 21 more than at 32. I have adjusted slightly.

"But I feel good, I feel strong and I'm enjoying it and the more games I have the merrier."

The Magpies skipper believes that having the temperamental Craig Bellamy as his strike partner is helping the club enormously.

Bellamy hit Wales' winner in the surprise victory against Italy on Wednesday night, and Shearer is convinced the pacy forward has got the world at his feet and can prove his critics, who say he can't finish, wrong.

"The goal will be great for him," said Shearer. "I was going to say it will be good for his confidence but he doesn't need any more!

"In this country we are always quick to pick points with people but why don't we appreciate just what they are.

"There's no such thing as the perfect footballer, who has been top notch at everything.

"Craig's come here and done a brilliant job and we are not the same team without him.

"He surprised me how well he did when he came here and I think he surprised himself even though he will probably not say that.

"But if he was being honest he would say he's done better, he's been top drawer for us, he really has.

"He wants to be the best. He works his socks off in training and in games and when he does that you can't knock him."

Kieron Dyer failed a fitness test yesterday and is out of today's game with the back injury sustained on England duty.

The midfielder was given the all-clear when he received scan results on Thursday but he will be missing at Blackburn. Brian Kerr has been drafted in as the 23-year-old's replacement.

* Kieron Dyer has warned players might snap if provoked by racist abuse and resort to an Eric Cantona-style attack on taunting fans.

The Newcastle and England midfielder has called for FIFA and UEFA to punish racial abuse more severely.

Dyer is concerned such abuse could result in a player attacking a fan, as happened in 1995 when Cantona aimed a kung-fu kick at a Crystal Palace supporter.

Dyer said: ''The situation needs to be sorted out. If nothing is done players could reach a certain point where they snap, then you might see something like what happened when Eric Cantona attacked someone in the crowd. That's not what we want to see in football.''

Speaking at the launch of the anti-racism in football campaign, the midfielder condemned the treatment of Emile Heskey and Ashley Cole in Slovakia last weekend.

He said: ''This is a good time to step up the campaign to try and encourage FIFA and UEFA to take drastic action to stop this kind of racism. What happened in Slovakia was terrible."
