Altidore’s average of a goal every 35 games is surely unrivalled.

Completely irrelevant to the topic of this video, but considering that the last player who played in the miracle of Bern died about 4 months ago, I would really like to see a video about the whole story between Germany and Hungary, especially because it meant so much to at least the German population

"Altidore, Mitroglou, Van Wolfswinkel." Damn that 2013/14 season was all kinds of special wasn't it.

All those honorable mentions but no love for Big Les Ferdinand. From 1992/93 through to the end of 1996/97 he scored 101 league goals in just 178 games. Overall he bagged 149 in his career which makes him the current 11th top scorer in the league. That 5 season period, during which he moved from QPR to Newcastle, was top quality. England were blessed with so many high quality strikers in the late 90's but never forget Sir Les.

Henry and Bergkamp partnership 🔥🔥

This video reminded me of the 40 strikers West Ham have brought in the space of 10 years since GSB arrived, and I’d like to request a ranking of every single one, from Emenike, to Jonathan Calleri, to Ashley Fletcher

I've always thought that Heskey gets a lot of unfair criticism. I've never seen him as a goalscorer as such. He was excellent at running defences ragged & opening up defences, allowing more prolific goalscorers an opening. He could also defend a bit too, not the first quality you'd be looking for in an attacker, but if you are down to 10 men, it's useful to have an attacker who is able to drop back into midfield.Of course, he would be unlikely to appear on anyone's list of greats, but he was a hardworking straight-forward player.

Agüero should definitely be higher than fourth. He has the best scoring rate in Prem history, won 5 titles, made Man City the dominant force they are today, amazing for City over a whole decade and scored the most iconic goal in Prem history.

Tbh as a United fan, I wouldn't want Rooney to do anything differently about his game... His personality on the pitch and style of play was an inspiration... He would fight till the very last second of the game even through injuries and with painkillers, for each and every ball, maybe off the pitch he should have focused on his recovery and health more. But I wouldn't trade what he did and stood for, for any player ever. He made millions of us love football, If he wanted Shearer's record he could have got it, asking the manager to tweak his position and all but despite the rot that Glazers brought in, where we wanted a 20 year old Benzema but ended up with a 33 year old Owen or had to make do with Chicharito instead of Aguero. He pulled us on multiple times, sometimes on his own and not just with his goalscoring. All of that took a toll on him. But he'd still be one of the 5 greatest players for my club ever.

Rudd Van Nistelrooy was one of my favourite Man Utd players ever.

Great video Alfie. Loved the Peter Crouch moment.

Andy Cole, Drogba, Vardy and Fowler deserved 7th more than Cantona in my opinion. But good list as usual

Ruud Van Nistelrooy is one of My Personal Favourites …. 🔥. ⚽️

Dennis bergkamp might not have been the best striker but he definitely is the best player to have played in the league

This has got to be the most energy Alfie has ever put into an intro.

I'd argue RVP should have got a mention at 280 Apps and 144 goals but otherwise nice 7s video

Wonderful vid 👍🏾

Been waiting for this one, my top 3 is Aguero, Henry & Rooney

The frightening efficiency of van Nistelrooij should have given him a spot at 5,6,7. Not the most fun player to watch but he would score every game and made it look easy, no matter who he played against. Didn’t care about beauty, he just put it in the back of the net.

Honestly, for me, Joelinton is the greatest premier league striker ever. I mean, scoring a goal is second nature for a striker. Joelinton, missed routinely, that is skill personafied

No way Andy Cole misses out he’s definitely top 5, comfortably top 7

I’ve been waiting for this for a while.

Fantastic list⚡

Not gonna lie. You had me with the Crouch thing. You have my respect. Plus I think you pretty much nailed the list.

Shearer. 2nd. I just cannot agree there, Alfie. He was the best of the best x

My lasting memory of Agüero's early days at Manchester City will be his third game for the club, while playing Spurs away, Spurs while 3-1 down early in the second half kept their whole back four back to mark him while having a succession of corners themselves, that was the day I thought... this guy is going to be a real star!

O I have waited for this for so long 😭😭💞🥺

Ayyyyyyy!! Crouchy! The goat🐐(Tottenham fan btw) So no bias

Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.

He got me with Peter crouch 😂😂😂 I almost died like wtf...... is this an alternate reality

Bergkamp was a marvel to watch!

Cantona retired too early he was so good

Do top 7 best managers of the premier league era

Funnily enough as a gunner I was furious when we signed Henry. He was a pretty average winger at Juve and had was average at the 98 World Cup.

Andy Cole is top 4 PL striker ever. The guy is 3rd in the scoring charts (having never taken a PL penalty, I might add) - always played for the team and actually won multiple league titles. Don’t understand his omission, but Harry Kane’s inclusion?

Kings Bergkamp & Henry. 👑 👑

My list. For what it's worth, my top three on ABILITY alone are Henry, Suarez, and Kane. 1. Henry -- not much need for elaboration. 2. Shearer -- again, not much need for elaboration. 3. Aguero -- fantastic numbers over nearly a decade, multiple league titles. The insane strength of his teams goes against him slightly. He cannot be higher than 3rd, but cannot be lower either until Kane crosses 260 and/or wins a title. 4. Rooney -- unbelievable numbers when playing as a true 9, but the lack of elite goalscoring longevity goes against him. 5. Cole -- serially disrespected, elite numbers despite not taking penalties, multiple league titles. 6. Cantona -- poor numbers, but 4 league titles in 5 years at United, with the 5th title missed due to his suspension. 7. Kane -- elite numbers, walks into any PL team ever, and fantastic consistency. At age 28 and without a title, a huge chunk of his career yet to be written. 8. van Nistelrooy -- amazing numbers, ruthless finishing, but only one league title. 9. Owen -- hugely disrespected, one of the best young strikers in the history of the league. Unbelievable numbers until injuries set in. 10. Suarez -- undisputedly the top or second-best season by a striker ever. Unplayable, but obvious lack of longevity. 11. van Persie -- best striker in the league between Rooney (2010) and Suarez (2013 and 2014). Elite numbers for an average Arsenal side, and delivered a league title on his own. 12. Drogba -- not enough elite PL seasons to enter the top 10. 13. Bergkamp -- technically elite, a joy to watch, but his numbers simply do not stack up to the competition. 14. Tevez -- unplayable on his day. Happy to put him a little lower, in all honesty. 15. Fowler -- like Owen, underappreciated. Superb striker. 16. Torres 17. Wright 18. Hasselbaink 19. Vardy 20. Berbatov 21. Anelka 22. Sheringham 23. Yorke

As soon as it started with Cantona I was worried. He’s not even top 15 let alone 7th 🙃

I'll accept that injuries probably stop my idol making this list, and maybe (just!) overall ability but, for me, Robbie Fowler is always forgotten about in these lists. (At least Fowler got a mention!) Maybe "achievements" also stop him, but I've always hated team achievements (trophies) being used to measure individuals. A finisher as good as Shearer, more creative than many in the list, underrated with his head, both footed, amazing positioning for poacher goals, but also scored absolute crackers, unselfish. What a player.

Everyone hails cantona for his performances, and i will not hold that against them. But crucially he was also the first player that put Sir Alex's man management skills to display

had me going with peter crouch!

Bergkamp, for me is the greatest player the PL has ever seen. An absolute dream to watch.

Nwankwo “Papilo” Kanu deserves an honorable mention. Just on the basis of that nickname alone🧐🧐

You could have taken the Peter Crouch thing further, that was hilarious

The most underrated premier league striker of all time has to be Matt Le Tissier. He was phenomenal and yet very rarely gets a look in.

Alfie, could you please expand on the point at 12:33? Which external factors stopped Rooney from reaching the Messi/Ronaldo tier, in your view?

Henry was just magnificent arguably the better striker than Shearer in terms of being all rounded

I bilive u ar amazing and raet I agree whit u keep going bro and I love your videos ❤️😍

I would have liked to have seen 2 videos - best 7 2nd strikers and best 7 out-n-out strikers. For 2nd strikers, you'd see players like Cantona, Bergkamp, Le Tissier, Rooney, Sherringham. For outright strikers, Henry, Shearer, Kane, Andy Cole, Aguero, Drogba

Two of the seven being from the same Arsenal team says it all. What an unbelievably talented squad they had. My favorite PL team of all time.

i was about to scream when you said peter crouch lmao

That Peter crouch moment😂😂😂

Henry was stupendous. I'm of the opinion that David Silva is the best Premier League player ever but what I wouldn't give to have Mbappe at Arsenal and bring the spirit of Henry there again.

You legit got me for a second with Crouch🤣🤣🤣

Its worth mentioning that it was Arsene Wenger who actually morphed Thierry Henry into the prolific striker he became he played as a left winger for Monaco and Juventus it was only when he transferred to Arsenal that he became the out and out striker we all know about.

Solid list. Obviously, with only 7 spots, there are bound to be notable omissions, but your reasoning behind the rankings is sound, and, ultimately, as you never tire of reiterating, this is your opinion, and your opinion only.

Why is it that RVN almost seems like a forgotten great? The dude tore the EPL up for years and was literally the only one who could compete (and bested ) Henry.

Knew it had to be Henry at #1. Nice list, my man! Henry rates in my personal GOAT list, alongside (in no particular order) Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, and Ronaldinho. When they eventually hang up their boots, Messi, C. Ronaldo, and Ibrahimovic will join that list.

Please do the same series for la liga

Absolutely loved the troll at number one 😂😂

You got me with “first crouch” 💀😂

You should make the 7 gratest premier league managers to complete the series!!!!

bruh the intro was brutal

1. Henry 2. Shearer 3. Rooney 4. Bergkamp 5. Aguero 6. Kane 7. Van Nistelrooy

Wow lol ... I never made the connection between your channel's name and the top 7 lists you produced haha.

The whole time up until the Va Va Voom reference I was like WHERE IS HENRY??? Well Done.

For me there is little difference between Shearer and Henry, mostly preference. They both started the prem at similar ages, starting at good sides. Blackburn had finished second, with Arsenal winning the league. Henry had an amazing fitness record, missing only 25 games premier league games in 8 seasons (sold in Jan). Shearer had three major injuries and missed 82 premier league games in the same period. Shearer had multiple managers at his time at Blackburn and Newcastle, and was famously dropped by Ruud G in the 99 season, where he only managed 30 appearances scoring 14 goals. Stat wise they're very similar. Shearer started at a faster rate, scoring 100 goals in 124 games. Having 150 goal contributions in 148 games. He had a better record to 100, 125, 150 and 175 goals. Henry went on to get 200 goal contributions in 209 games, compared to Shearers 225 games. Shearer had a record of 169 goals and assists in his first 169 games, before his second major injury. Shearer would go on to win the prem, top scorer of the Euros and a top 3 balon d'or nominee. Henry, would win the world cup, 2 euros, 2 premier leagues. The treble with Barcelona. Balon d'or top 3 coming second.

Bergkamp for his position and what his role was. He was the best. Potentially even number 1. Yeah, he was as prolific goal scorer. But did he need it? When he could feed his teammates. His first touch and skill was out of this world. Henry has become a merchandise today since going to U.S.A. and gets even more credit than what he already deserves(which is not low).

But if we all being honest if Cenk hadn't had that injury he would've taken the no 1 spot

Looking back now, we can all agree Shearer made a mistake joining Newcastle from a pure football legacy point. I’m sure he probably had more personal satisfaction playing for his boyhood club. But joint Man United would have made him one of the greatest strikers ever in the world and not just in England.

can you make these series also about the old first divison? there was english football before 1992, and you only find premier league lists in the internet.

the peter crouch insertion was great! made me laugh

Tyler Roberts is still playing regularly for Leeds. 20 goals in 175 appearances for club and country. Tries hard but surely one of the worst strikers in the division!

My personal take 7. Harry Kane 6. Didier Drogba 5. Luis Suarez 4. Alan Shearer 3. Kun Aguero 2. Thierry Henry 1. Wayne Rooney

As Aston Villa fan I am very sad for lack of our players. But it's true that last 30 years we don't have any long standing in the club forward with top class quality.

Surprised that Andrew Cole did not make this list.

the Peter crouch got me so good lmao

7 greatest ever goals

Great video. This is probably the best top 7 list (or the one that i agree with the most) . All are on the correct order.

So so good to see #KingHenry acknowledged like this 💯 much deserved ⚽️🏆🥇

The best country for every position depends on consistency like Italy is the most consistent country for keeper's

That song yadong intro was badass lol

Are you doing a 7 greatest managers to put into this team?

Going to have to call you out on the Cantona winning Leeds the league thing. He made 9 appearances from the bench and only 6 starts. He was clearly talented and looked to be coming into his own towards the end of the season as well as the start of the next but he wasn't key to the title win. That's not to say he wasn't good for Leeds but there is an issue of revisionist history with this one given his departure and legacy elsewhere.

Henry as no 1 sounds right

Would have liked to seen 2 lists. One out and out centre forward list and one 2nd striker/withdrawn forward list.. but good list

I really didn't expect to see Crouchy at the top 😅

I'm glad you mentioned Wayne Rooney

Center forward is by far the most competitive position. The honorable mentions list is better than the actual list in some other positions

Thierry Henry and Ruud van Vistelrooy are for me best ever strikers that I watch in PL !

That crouch thing was funny after the buildup

That peter crouch curveball almost made me choke on water

I think Andy Cole may be the most underrated Premier Player of all time let alone striker

Damn...less than 50 k views in a day? Something pissed the algorithm...one would think Strikers would be the most popular video

Pc you got me badly there man 😂😂😂😂

The Peter crouch one got me for a second.

Shearer No1 without a shadow of a doubt. He scored so many goals its ridiculous and he done it whilst in poor to average teams.

Seeing Song Yadong was quite a surprise😄😄

That Crouchy bit was epic.

15:38 love you man😂😂😂
