Henry isn’t just the best foreign player but the best player in general

Chelsea fan here. Thierry Henry is the best PL player I've ever seen.

Poor kids, you didn't get to watch Thierry.

Thierry Henry. Best EPL player of all time. End of discussion. This should have been a 30 second video.

Thierry Henry wouldn't only score bags of goals, he holds the record for the most assists in a season as well he did everything!

Henry had golden boot 4 times. Crazy goals to games ratio. Scored 39 goals and 20 assists in one season. Still has the record for assists. Uefa team of the season 5 times. Can dribble through the whole team and score. Can hold it up, great passer. Phenomenal pace and power and skill. Link up play. Technique, finesse. As a pure goalscorer aguero is one of the greatest but henry is a far superior all round football player.

Thierry Henry is why I love football. I'll probably spend the rest of my life waiting to see what he did on the pitch to defenders. He was pure magic and I'll never forget him.

Henry was unstoppable, distructive and most of all a team player.

Thierry without a doubt. The man didn't only score goals, also holds the record of most assists in a season, absolute monster of a player.

Henry without any doubt. Look at the impact he had from 1999-2006. 227 goals for arsenal . This is coming from a Chelsea fan

Bergkamp is technically the best player. Capable of the truly inspirational. The goal he scored for Holland against Argentina was genius. Like many of Holland’s great players played the game in a way I truly admire. Spurs fan.

Chelsea fan since 1995 here. There is no debate. It's Henry by a mile. The most destructive and devastating player as an opponent and a real team player as well.

in my opinion it is moussa sissoko. The greatest player of all time coming from a spurs fan. He is a legendary player who has scored more goals than de gea, who is the best goal keeper in the world, more passes than michael carrick this season and more assists than pep guardiola, who is arguably the best manager in the premier league. The GOAT

henry.. Decimated the premier league for six seasons. followed very closely by CR7.

I’m not only saying this because i am a gunner. Henry was the king of PL when it came to scoring goals. However, for me... Bergkamp was the artist of all footballers. Bergkamp without a shadow of a doubt, the best foreign player to ever played the PL. he brought magic with flare, where even the opposition players would applaud his talent on the pitch. He was the master of all touches and passes. Ask Henry how he broke Wrights record at Arsenal? Obviously with the help of Bergkamp. Bergkamp helped wright to become Arsenal’s all time goalscorer, until Henry came and helped him to brake Wrights record. Such a phenomenal player he was. Believe me when i say this... PL will NEVER EVER see such another talented player as Bergkamp was!

Even as a spurs fan, I can't disagree with Henry being number 1. He was incredible

Henry changed the premier league. There was never a striker that would take the ball from any position on the pitch including his own half and score. He wouldn't stand in the box and wait for it. He would create his own chance and score.

Henry. without question this is coming from a spurs fan. I might not like him but i'm not deluded.

Henry without a doubt and this comes from a Chelsea fan, we've had our own share of great foreign players, but so far Henry stands out.

Henry is the greatest player to have played in EPL period. No debate. Henry wasn't just a great goalscorer and assist maker he also got people interested in actually watching PL. The guy could draw a crowd. The only three others who could do that were Bergkamp, Cantona and Ronaldo. So Suarez and Aguero aren't even in top 5. Nor is Silva, Hazard and De Bruyne.

Henry used to straight run through entire teams on a regular basis. He is the GOAT

Thierry Henry!

Bergkamps impact on English football is momentus

For years I always went with Eric Cantona as the greatest foreign player in Premier League history. For his influence to Manchester United, as he was the one who revolutionised and started their dominance in the 90s. Then I felt Bergkamp was the greatest foreign PL ever, for changing the whole ethos of Arsenal, on and off the field. But for me the GREATEST Foreign PL player ever has to be Thierry Henry. For his style, fashion, goalscoring, flamboyance and presence. And a lot of people started supporting Arsenal because of Henry and Bergkamp.

But no seriously, it has to be Henry

Henry is comfortably number 1 for me, but Aguero, Schmeichel, Vieira, Makelele, Suarez, CR7, Bergkamp, Drogba are all up there.

As a United fan I've never admired a player more than Henry. That man was pure magic.

I'm LFC fan but Number 1 is only Henry a super 🌟

Liverpool fan, it's gotta be Thierry. No bones about it

Henry, if you don't say Henry I can only guess you're too young

I remember watching Man U vs Arsenal as a Man U fan, tied 1-1 deep in lost time Eboue crosses the ball, Henry heads the ball, scores, and jogs around the left corner up the pitch looking at the crowd with so much cool I forgot I was a Man U fan

Thierry Henry all day ARSENAL

I'm A Liverpool fan but I pick Henry he was amazing player.

Thierry Henry is quite simply the best player to play in the premier league... not only foreigners. Bergkamp was close, CR7 aswell, Cantona was amazing, Zola was talented beyond belief and Torres for a few years at anfield was sensational . Of recent times, Suarez and Aguero have been incredible. But Henry, moment after moment, time and time and time again, literally RIPPED everyone up. He was faster, stronger, more powerful and almost created a position of his own. Who really cut in from the left and finished with that finesse before him? A king, a legend... The Best Ever

Im a Chelsea fan and I loved Franco Zola but it has to be Henry

Thierry Henry no doubt was the best EPL player. CR7, Cantona, Dennis Berkamp, Ruud VN are all in the top 5 for me but it's Henry and I support Man United.

Theirry Henry most underrated thing was his creativity. He baged lots of assist. I remember when he got 20 league assist in one season the closest player was Ozil with 19.

Henry. Wat he achieved invincibles was unbeatable . Aguero comes close though. Shearer scored those goals in much more games

What about Bergkamp? He let others players play good, that is the real mastery!

Henry Henry Henry, All day Im a Chelsea fan btw

Coming from a Man City fan - Aguero - one of the greatest strikers yes, but player over a longer period - no - That has to go to Thierry Henry. TH wasn't just a great goalscorer, but he had an incredible rate of assists, at his peak he had the Golden Shoe and was highest assister in Europe - that's phenomenal! Also although Aguero is pretty fast and can go past the last man, Henry could pick the ball up from deep and glide past 2 or 3 defenders and did so most games. Henry also took set pieces and scored many free kicks. Also stats dont take into account moments of genius - Yes Aguero scored that famous goal to win City the Premier League, and a few standout moments in his Premier League career, but TH time in the Premier league was filled with mouth open moments of genius and magic, from his goal against Liverpool when the title and unbeaten run were in jeopardy, to his backheel vs Charlton, his goal vs Spurs picking the ball up from in his own half and driving past 4 players before scoring, to THAT goal vs Man U. I love Aguero and he would definitely be in my all time greatest Premier League squad, but TH was a class apart.

it has to be King Henry

man utd fan here...henry wins it for me easily...if cantona had played for much longer then it might have been different, but henry..he was something else...you couldn't hate him...his pace, cross, pass, dribble, maybe his header wasn't the greatest...but..facing arsenal with henry was always a challenge...the thing is, with henry, ronaldo, bergkamp you can remember their best matches...with aguero, i don't really have much memory of his 'solitary' highlight...with henry i remember his 4 goals vs leeds in 03-04 or his match against liverpool in 03-04 at highbury...with aguero, well, he's always been a great goal scorer but you kind of expect that with man city blossoming into a big side...i feel david silva and kevin de bruyne have so much more impact and effect than sergio...

I’m a Liverpool supporter and without a doubt Thirre Henry was the best player that ever played in the English league

Must be Thierry Henry hands down..... such a great find and left a long legacy for others to follow.... and won the the World Cup as well!

They must’ve assumed bendtner was English 🤔

Liverpool fan here, and there hasn't been anyone like Henry to grace the Premier League. Forget about best foreign player, he's the Premier League GOAT!

It is Thierry Henry the EPL King forever for me! 😍😍 Watching him play made my heart move. He was my teenage idol.

Forget best foreign player, Henry is the best player to ever grace the premier league.......and I don’t support Arsenal. Case closed!

Henry no doubt had 24 goals and 20 assists one season also many other great years he was a complete player

Henry. (Even though it hates me to say this as a United fan.) Sorry Ron. But you’re second.

I would pick Henry as the foreign GOAT as well and possibly the GOAT

It's clearly David N'Gog

It’s Henry or CR7. There is no debate to be had here. No one could single handedly turn a game on its head like Henry or Ronaldo. It’s pretty simple.

the irreplaceable king Thierry Henry! Respect

I was at the fa cup match against Leeds when he came back to arsenal for a while and no one could touch him when he scored. It was one of the best moments in my life when he came back and did that.

Henry no doubt created loads of goals and scored lots to

Hands down - Henry This is from Utd fan. The swag he brought for Arsenal. The way he created chances and score goals like eating burgers. Ronaldo came very close but i had to give it to Henry. when people mentioned Arsenal, people will still discuss Henry.

I'm a spurs fan and it is Henry cos he made an impact!

Thierry Henry. In my life time, anyway.

Henry!!!

alan shearer's comment just goes to show how poor some of the punditry actually is, getting caught up in the moment and making ridiculous statements like his, its even quite immature if you ask me

He made number 14 get recognised around the world. Henry. Thank God that I managed to see him play.

I was never a fan of Bellamy as a player but every time I’ve seen him on the debate I agree with what he’s saying. Great insights into the modern game.

Henry. Open and shut debate. Edit: I’m a non-Arsenal fan.

Thierry Henry - The King

Henry without a doubt. Best in PL history, not just import. He ripped defenses apart. Left defenders of the highest calibre looking like idiots. Any football fan who can let go of their bias would pick Henry. Absolutely phenomenal player. The Arsenal team he played in is still one of my favourite teams of all time because they were just so good on the eye and I'm a Liverpool fan.

Messi said the only time he's ever felt starstruck was sitting next to Henry in the Barca dressing room for the first time... I rest my case.

Without a doubt its got be Yaya Sanago

No reason for anyone here to discredit anyone's opinion and if anyone rates Aguero as the best than so be it but for me personally, Henry was head and shoulders above him, Henry was the full package, elegant, lightening quick, two footed, could score penalties, free kicks, screamers from outside the penalty box, headers, assists as he is still the player with most assists in a season (20) and the thing with Henry was that you could give him the ball at the halfway line and he would dribble his way past any defender and score, that's something that Aguero can't do, Aguero is very clinical and his movement is outstanding and very smart but he relies on service whereas Henry just took the ball and destroyed the entire Real Madrid defence, the entire Liverpool, Tottenham, Leeds and United defence all by himself. Aguero is great but Henry is the greatest ever to play in the PL. I also rate Bergkamp and Ronaldo ahead of Aguero. I also rate Vieira as a better player and having a bigger impact if i think about his legendary duels with Keane or the fact that he was by far the very best dm in the world for a long time

henry was class, he was like pouring wine

Aguero is not even in my Top-5, maybe Top-10. Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo these are best foreign players in EPL.

Thierry Henry is the greatest ever to play in england period! He could score any type of goals...right foot left foot, headers, solo goals, curled shots, chips, strikes from distance, tap ins! Holds assist records as well as goal records, could create and score goals out of nothing in tight games - glide past the whole opposition or pick a pass from deep in the centre or on the wings! Made it look easy to destroy top defenders at the highest level for years! Dennis is 2nd because he changed the face of English football and the way we play at Arsenal and helped Thierry! I'm not being bias its just facts! Shearer is an idiot ,aguero isn't even in the top 10 imo!

Has to be Henry. Incredible goalscoring record, set up loads of goals, and just consistently devastating in front of goal. Plus he won the league unbeaten.

One word BERGKAMP

The reason I support arsenal is because I fell I love with Thierry henry I cried when he went Barca

It has to be Dennis Bergkamp for me he was a genius of the game and could do anything with the ball and this is coming from a Liverpool fan.

I thought it was pretty much a given that Henry was the best foreign player.

Legend - Someone who is so good in their field of work that it forces their opponents to get better. Thierry Henry is a living legend. Those of us lucky enough to witness his greatness will attest to that. There is no other for me.

Dennis Bergkamp is The DNA of Arsenal and so to the PL. he made them stars TH and IR as well

If Ronaldo stayed in the Prem for longer this would never even be a debate

Simply Till now there is no option 2 Humble as a Liverpool fan It should be Thierry Hennry And the one man that can take his spot is MoSalah who still has a long way to go So lets take the options Arsenal fans will say Patrice Vierra Denis Bercknap and Thierry Hennry Man Utd Fans will argue Peter Schmichel Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo Chelsea fans will argue with Gianfranco Zola Liverpool fans will argue with Xavi Alonso Yari Bisman Luis Suarez ans others There wont be a better answer tha the INVINCIBLES So it must be Thierry Hennry

Between 95'-05' was the best decade for the EPL, players were tough, defenders were proper, games were fast pace, any team can beat any team on any given day, now a day it's about the super star status, who can make the most, have the biggest house, the most expensive cars, hottest WAGs. It's a shame really because the beautiful game is not what it used to be.

Man Utd fan but has to be Henry🔥

the only player who could beat henry's greatness is ronaldo(if he stayed in the league ofc). but henry was more lethal and stronger in my opinion. ronaldo is more of a show man scoring machine. and i would like to add yaya toure in the list of best foreign player. cause he was the most complete midfielder after vieira in the league.

Eric Djemba Djemba,the real GOAT

Without Bergkamp Henry woud not have scored so many

Gotta be Henry. Very short debate, surely 🤔

Henry tops the list undoubtedly even as a Liverpool fan. Aguero comes close, top class of course, if De Bruyne carrying on the way he is then he'll have a very decent shout (best midfielder I've ever seen imo). Honourable mentions are Suarez, Ronaldo, Viera, David Silva.

Thierry Henry hands down, in fact if you actually think about it, he’s also the best player of the premier league era

Henry my favourite ..but Bergkamp had something different..the two dove-tailed perfectly

The last 3 seasons of Ronaldo at Man United, Ronaldo was a much better player than Agüero or Henry. Admittedly he didn’t have the longevity as he moved clubs, but the level he played at in those final seasons was a much higher level than anyone else. Ronaldo was voted the worlds best player, as a premier league player too. Something Henry could never manage, and as for Agüero, he’s not even won a PFA award ffs.

Drogba is even better than Aguero. Aguero constantly flops in Europe, rarely scores against top teams. One cup final goal for City as well. Drogba 9 cup finals 9 goals. And the season Chelsea played good attacking football ie Ancelotti, Drogba scored 29 goals. More than Aguero has ever scored in a single season.

Alan Shearer must be smoking! Henry is by far the greatest player ever and the best player to grace the EPL. This shouldn't be a discussion. Ronaldo comes closer but he didn't achieve what Henry had achieved. Don't get me wrong. Ronaldo is the best second player in the world.

Henry, Roy Keane, Bergkamp, Vieira, Drogba are all ahead of him!

Bergkamp for me, overshadows Henry - because without DB10, the impact of others may never have followed.

did everyone forget about Chamakh? SMH

Thierry Henry is the greatest striker in Preimer league history It’s not even open for debate!!!!!!! Alan Shearer is the 2nd Greatest Striker In Preimer League History!!!!!!!! Although Alan isn’t a foreign import.

Shearer probably said that to try and cement his place as best player overall. Henry takes both categories comfortably

Agree on Henry without hesitation however I'm surprised Drogba didn't even get a mention!
