At St James’ Park, his career-best 25 goals in 1995/96 helped Newcastle go close to the title that season.
Ferdinand led the line at Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers and, by the time he played his final Premier League match, only three players had scored more than his 149 goals.
