If it weren't for Henry there wouldn't be the invincibles he affected nearly every single game he was phenomenal easily best ever player. Ronaldo if he stayed longer could have been
Even if we just take Cristiano for what he did strictly at Manchester United, I think that version of Ronaldo was simply a bigger threat than even prime Henry. Simply had every tool in his locker, with everything you can ask for from an attacker. Henry is just behind him for me. I think if u took each player and put them on a mid table side, the team with 07-09 Ronaldo would do better than the one with 02-05 Henry
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.
Yeah when you put it like that, Agueros a likable player with a great scoring record but who would you rather up front in their prime, its not really an argument when you think like that
I did- top top footballer. His Barca spell was sneaky underrated too, he was more than able to hold his own at Camp Nou alongside such legends as Messi, iniesta, Xavi, Eto’o, etc
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.
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
Gayatri Shardul - just look at the overwhelming comments stating Henry is number 1, from supporters of different teams. You can choose to ignore them too, it’s up to you. I’m not asking you to change your opinion, but the evidence is ostensibly clear.
Henry was more than goals, just unstoppable but unfortunately what people always remember are the goals.... same happens with messi . this kid is just the best and people keep compering ronaldo and messi. there are 20 better players than ronaldo. unbelievably he appears to be better than cantona, smicheal or viera ..... no way.....
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.
@@hunterhunted2171 Didier was the man for the big games, no doubt. But over the course of the season, I'd take Henry anyday. I rather face Didier 20 times than facing Henry more than once.
Asher Millstone ronaldo most overrated player in the world. There's more to a game than scoring goals, that's why messi will always be greatest he's complete package unlike ronaldo
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.
suarez 31 EPL goals + 12 assists in just 33 games .. 0 penalties.. greatest ever premier league season??... ronaldo had one good season..otherwise he never scored more than 18 goals in any of his season.. These pundits are morons.. ronaldo is tap in merchant in real madrid.. so he is an average player like aguero?...
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.
THANK YOU . I was arguing essentially the same thing above - I said if you take ten neutral football fans from all over the world and ask who they believe was a better player Henry or Bergkamp , I feel like 7 or 8 out of 10 go with Dennis
@@red-onecpasmoijetaitentrai3400 cantona was incredible and had so much charisma on and off the pitch but dennis is the king of elegance and class, I hate to even compare the 2 but Bergkamp was just so special especially with his partnership with Henry
@@fusionz0722 And I agree with you to a point. Bergkamp was such an elegant player and a joy to watch, but Cantona was the man who helped build the image that is the Premier League as we know it today. There are very few players that had a greater impact than King Eric. -Real Madrid fan
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.
Ronaldo was better in his last 3 years than Henry..he carried Utd to 3 straight titles as the leader, 2 UCL finals coz of his goals and was the world's best in that time..no comparison
suarez 31 EPL goals + 12 assists in just 33 games .. 0 penalties.. greatest ever premier league season??... ronaldo had one good season..otherwise he never scored more than 18 goals in any of his season.. These pundits are morons.. ronaldo is tap in merchant in real madrid.. so he is an average player like aguero?...
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!
i think denis is possibly the most talented but henry wins simply because of his pace and power on top of his pure talent. bergkamp is more of an artist, producing fine pieces but henry delivers the quantity of goods you need to win.and that quantity matters. he depended on denis to deliver.
Compare cantona and henry in club and national team level , is like comparing Agbolahor and rooney , even not even shearer can stand it , henry is the highest premiership golden boot winner 4 and shearer 3
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 is not a better player than Ronaldo who is considered one if not the best player of all time, prob only Messi can challenge him to that title. Henry never won a champions league or a Ballon D'or while at Arsenal.
U r supposed to say that henry was the best premier league player but u said that greatest player to play premier league.......... well that was ronaldo. cz ronaldo > henry.
@@RealistGunner Thats what I was saying all along. henry is the greatest premier league player but the guy said that he is the greatest player to ever play in premier league. That is different
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
craziewill lol really. the mancity domination was possible because of aguero. and few others but aguero was very much the centre of it. the best moment in league history belongs to aguero. dont talk out of your ass
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.
@@wesleywinklaar i'd say M'bappe is slightly ahead of Henry at his current age, but obviously Henry's development spiked hugely when he went to Arsenal. He's certainly got the same qualities and looks very much like him sometimes. Did you know both players have been clocked at running over 39kph at top speed!
suarez 31 EPL goals + 12 assists in just 33 games .. 0 penalties.. greatest ever premier league season??... ronaldo had one good season..otherwise he never scored more than 18 goals in any of his season.. These pundits are morons.. ronaldo is tap in merchant in real madrid.. so he is an average player like aguero?...
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.
@@jimmyjamescomputers8585 but arsenal didn't draw 38 matches ..🤦♂️ 26 12 0. Although yes even city record last season is brilliant. Aguero > shearer though.better strike rate.
It’s Henry and it’s not even a debate. Aguero isn’t even sniffing the talent that Henry had. Henry is the greatest player in the premier league era, and it’s not close. End of discussion
BAKER GOATFIELD BANDWAGON John Wall those assists stats are tainted because they were recording critical involvement in the goal not the actual last touch before scorer.. Look it up

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
I remember that game. Was such a difficult header as well. I think Van Persie scored the other goal. Also a header. Really unusual for Arsenal who were all about the wengerball. Don't think Henry even started that game due to injuries
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.
Better then Giggs?you've been on the bostick haven't you 13 thats 13 titles to Henry's 2 we are talking about impact on PL aren't we?know he's welsh but you saying best ever c'mon grow up
@@craigoliver8712 If discussing players impact on title winning sides then yes but the question is best foreign PLAYER in Premier League history therefore team accolades aren't the deciding factor...Eric Djemba-Djemba has winners medals, but he wouldn't lace the boots of Okocha, Zola, Luis Garcia, Ginola, Di Canio, Suarez, Klinsmann, etc etc Also Henry played for Arsenal for 8 years and Giggs played for united for 24 years so that kind of skews your figures.
@@prabhatbhandari That tells you grew watching football since 2011 only!! His first Ballon d'Or was with Man United (Needless to say Players in EPL rarely break Spanish monopoly), a season breaking the creating a joint all time record for highest goals ever scored in a season by a midfielder since George Best. He gave them a 3 PLs, a European Double (which arguably should have been a treble if not for that ref. blunder penalty in FA Cup vs Portsmouth) and an International Cup. And thats Ronaldo for you, no way anyone comes near him.
@@sudharshanve8519 Er how does that work. Henry was playing in the Premier League before 2011 and Ronaldo had left for Madrid years before. European trophies don't count. The debate is 'Who is the best foreign player in Premier League history?' Henry is the greatest foreign player to play in the Premier League.
@@dickieOiRed_07 That's why I said kid You should have started watching football post 2011, you see Cristiano Ronaldo started his Premier League Career way back in 2003 and played till 2009 (the same time as Thierry Henry who even though started in 1998) and broke way more records and won more trophies than Theirry Henry. And the rest of the stats in right in front you...!!? Lets call it out again what he did with Man United in PL before moving to Madrid: 1. One Ballon d'or, 4 PFA Young Player of the Year, 3 PFA Player of the year, FIFA World Player of the Year, One Champions League, One CL final, 3 PL Titles 2. 118 goals, 60 assists (from the midfield) in 5 years. 3. 42 goals a season in 2008, record highest ever by a midfielder since George Best way back in 1968.!! And let's face it, Other than him when was the last time any player from the Premier League won a FIFA World Player of the Year???? What did Thierry Henry do again???
@@sudharshanve8519 You make no sense re 2011. Henry is number one. Most people will tell you that. Can't help Cristiano Ronaldo fanboys. He's not even the best Ronaldo.
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.
:) He's so great you don't even know how to spell his name. "Sanogo" - but I agree with most, no one can beat Lord Bendtner... except Francis Jeffers, maybe?
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...
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
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
Or he was a goalscorer and is of the opinion it doesn't matter how you score, it's how many? Agueros goal ratio statistically makes him the best striker, and it's more impressive when you remember how much he's missed due to injuries. I think Henry is the best, but I'd also revisit the debate in 10 years when Aguero isn't still playing and see how it looks then
@@hex4292 but Aguero's impact was 0% Henry Revulioned the premier League by just toying with them! I mean look at this 258 apearences for Arsenal in 8 years: 228 goals in all competitions and 170 something in the premier league.... And that's just Henry the whole Arsenal squad in that era could be on that list lol
@@footballlover3549 sorry Agueros impact was 0%? That's why he's won 3 league titles and been City's top goal scorer every time? And scored one of the most famous goals in the premier league? Henry was magic, but that doesn't immediately make him the best
hex can you tell me much goal scoring ratio does Aguero leave Henry behind ? if you knew it then there is something wrong in your head, because the different is soooo small and yet can you tell me about Henry apart from scoring prowess, who is it still hold the goal assist record in a season, up to until now that record still had not been broken yet. Plus you were crying about how much games does Aguero had miss ? it is because in order to be fair to Aguero that most people judge him by goal per game or minute ratio. Plus the topic was about EPL best player regardless of whatever position that player play, it can be gk,cb,striker & etc, Regardless, Aguero is a great striker and I pity him a little bit because he does not possess all around ability which Pep wanted for his forward player playing style which does hamper his playing time.
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.
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!
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!
All of those types of goals you've described are capable of being scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and if he stayed in the Premier League, Ronaldo would win best player of the Premier League era, hands down.
@@Unknown-rw2jv you could also say the same about Suarez. The goals he scored in his last season at Liverpool are better and alot more diverse than any season ron and Henry had. But he wasn't here long enough to prove his consistency. That's why Henry gets my vote.
Kevin Mcg, I do agree that Henry wins it, but had Ronaldo stayed in the Premier League, I believe he would've won it because Ronaldo would've helped United to win silverware whereas Suarez wouldn't have won anywhere near as much silverware with Liverpool, and the amount of silverware always comes into consideration when it comes to winning individual awards. But I will say that last season Suarez had at Liverpool was a better season than any season Aguero has had at Manchester City, so Alan Shearer is a deluded old man.
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.
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.
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 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.
LouboutinzRS lol i agree de bruyne is world class but best midfielder you've seen? relax. xavi iniesta busquets pirlo, kaka etc are all better than de bruyne ever will be. henry is the best but of course if ronaldo stayed he would've been better (im an arsenal fan).
@@Hamza-fe7dg Lfc fan here, as of now you can't put De bruyne above these players, but if he continues to play this way, then i think he will overtake all of them. De bruyne is for me the best passer in recent times. In terms of dribbling he is behind all of them bar pirlo, and in terms of controlling the tempo of the game he would be behind xavi and pirlo, but overall i think he has the best attributes. I find him similar to kaka, but unfortunately kaka could never realise his true potential.
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.
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.
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
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.
I agree, but Ronaldo did get best player in the world in 2008. Did Henry get one? So Ronaldo deffently achived things while he was in the Prem. But I still wote Henry.
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.
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.
@@thetruthofit398 And how many against the elite in Europe? If he is to be known as the best foreign player in Prem, he's got to do more than that. And since being promoted in 2014, no player has more goals against the top 6 than Jamie Vardy, so thats who he is competing with in that department.
@@sergiovernon9796 i said rarely scores against top teams in Europe. Thats why Man City rarely make it to latter stages of CL. And the only time they did make it to latter stages. Debruyne was the one that pushed them to it.
I'm surprised that Zola didn't get a mention? For ability to dominate opponents and make the difference you can list Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, Ronaldo, Schmeicel, Van Nistelrooy, Zola, Drogba, Suarez, Torres, Aguero, KDB as examples... but the biggest factor for me was how long they were in the Premiership and playing at a top level. That is why I agree that it has to be Thierry Henry.
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.
Aguerro is better than drogba!! Don't get me wrong drogba was great on big games but in terms of consistency drogba only managed 20+ goals twice but aguerro have done it more often
@@sehwegg9388 No they didn't, PL is the undisputed best league in the world at the moment. In Henry's time La Liga and arguably the Serie A were better
With all due respect to aguero, this doesn't make much sense. Most ppl would prob say that Henry is better than Rooney, lampard and Gerrard who are the best English players to play in the pl. So saying aguero is better than Henry kind if implies that aguero is the best player to ever play in the premier league which doesn't sound right. Unless shearer thinks that their was an English player better than Henry.
@@MoLetalis good call for the great unsung list, probably along with Keane, Viera, Matic and Makele, although I liked Craig Bellamy's punditry, I must say though he failed to mention a famously revered defender who was sitting opposite him, but then not from the premiership era. Then again if it's the premiership (and it will always be a forward), there's only one king and his name is Thierry Henry!
Bergkamp was superb. There will never be a player with such intelligence, ball touch, vision, shooting, passing. Behind him the is room for discussion about players like viera, henry, cr7 or maybe de bruyne.

Simply had every tool in his locker, with everything you can ask for from an attacker. Henry is just behind him for me. I think if u took each player and put them on a mid table side, the team with 07-09 Ronaldo would do better than the one with 02-05 Henry
Hrant Esserian he was there for like 3 years and wasn’t even as good
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.
Deanz Beber he’s a legend
Yeah when you put it like that, Agueros a likable player with a great scoring record but who would you rather up front in their prime, its not really an argument when you think like that
Not a lie in sight. Only players I've ever seen run through a team like he did are Zlatan & Leo.
is giggs aND Keane foreign
You info is incorrect, it is 24 goals in 37 appearances with 20 assists in the 2002-03 season.
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.
SM uhhhh NO; Henry was so good because of Bergkamp, Dennis is the best.

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.
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 without any doubt. Look at the impact he had from 1999-2006. 227 goals for arsenal . This is coming from a Chelsea fan
As a chelsea fan i would put drogba in the conversation but henry would still ultimately win to be honest.
Ad Makaveli Drogba is defo a good pick too
most of what i remember from watching prem as a kid is how incredible henry was
Ad Makaveli didnt nearly score as many goals as henry or assits , and has fewer torphies. Drogba is more comparable with Ruud van Nistelrooy
Winkle Drogba is so overrated I know he was a big game player but he only scored over 20 goals in a season once
henry..
Decimated the premier league for six seasons. followed very closely by CR7.
In my opinion CR7 left man u at his prime if he had stayed 1 or 2 seasons longer he would have been the best
Agreed but Ronaldo of 2010 onwards would clearly stomp this debate he left that's all.
Henry was more than goals, just unstoppable but unfortunately what people always remember are the goals.... same happens with messi . this kid is just the best and people keep compering ronaldo and messi.
there are 20 better players than ronaldo. unbelievably he appears to be better than cantona, smicheal or viera ..... no way.....
Daniel Marin ronaldo is top 10 but no way he’s top 5 same with messi,fanboys just overhype these 2
Agreed. It’s Henry end of discussion
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.
What about Drogba ?. He was fearless. TH never turned up for big games.
@@hunterhunted2171 Didier was the man for the big games, no doubt. But over the course of the season, I'd take Henry anyday. I rather face Didier 20 times than facing Henry more than once.

Great comment from an opponent team- respect.
Henry used to straight run through entire teams on a regular basis. He is the GOAT
Asher Millstone You are delusional. Ronaldo became phenomenal at Madrid, but Henry was better at Arsenal than Ronaldo was at United.
Anthony
CR7 isn’t even the Best player with the name Ronaldo.
Asher Millstone delusional maybe if Ronaldo stayed a couple more seasons at Utd but Henry all the day long
@Asher Millstone ballon d'or doesn't prove anything the fact that Owen won one shows the lack of credibility that the award has.
Asher Millstone ronaldo most overrated player in the world. There's more to a game than scoring goals, that's why messi will always be greatest he's complete package unlike ronaldo
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.
The same can be said about C. Ronaldo. People didn't expect wingers to provide a lot of goals, until he emerged in the Premier League.
Cantona did it before henry
Gues Who you’re obviously from a shitty 3rd world county with that English
El Chapo why does it matter what country he is from the guys just talking about football 🤡

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

@@fusionz0722 And I agree with you to a point. Bergkamp was such an elegant player and a joy to watch, but Cantona was the man who helped build the image that is the Premier League as we know it today. There are very few players that had a greater impact than King Eric. -Real Madrid fan
Thierry Henry!
Samuel Tallman you mean king Eric! There’s only one king mate
There's only one king . King Eric
Henry is comfortably number 1 for me, but Aguero, Schmeichel, Vieira, Makelele, Suarez, CR7, Bergkamp, Drogba are all up there.
Not comfortably at all when Ronaldo was better.
HCH Millwall suppose you think Ronaldo is better than Messi then, creep
Glenn O'Connor No, I don't.
And Cantona
Roy keane
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.
Ronaldo was better in his last 3 years than Henry..he carried Utd to 3 straight titles as the leader, 2 UCL finals coz of his goals and was the world's best in that time..no comparison

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!
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.
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!
Bergkamp through passes (⚽️🚶🏼♂️ to his teammates to score goals are one of the kind.
They are so beautiful to watch.
imran hussain Think I have to agree
i think denis is possibly the most talented but henry wins simply because of his pace and power on top of his pure talent. bergkamp is more of an artist, producing fine pieces but henry delivers the quantity of goods you need to win.and that quantity matters. he depended on denis to deliver.
bergkamp one of the most underrated players ever. salute my man!
That goal from Bergkamp against Newcastle just makes me emotional really... What a piece of art that is!! so beautiful...
Henry, if you don't say Henry I can only guess you're too young
Murray Herts if you don’t think Cantona you’re clearly wrong. The rise of Utd dominance for 20 years spearheaded by that one transfer -
If you don't say Cantona or Schmeichel I guess you're too young.
Cantona is god like for 3, 4 years.
Henry is consistently good for a decade.... Henry for me

Compare cantona and henry in club and national team level , is like comparing Agbolahor and rooney , even not even shearer can stand it , henry is the highest premiership golden boot winner 4 and shearer 3
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.
well said Thirty D. Henry could milk a crowd
Henry is not a better player than Ronaldo who is considered one if not the best player of all time, prob only Messi can challenge him to that title. Henry never won a champions league or a Ballon D'or while at Arsenal.
lol forgetting ronaldo
U r supposed to say that henry was the best premier league player but u said that greatest player to play premier league.......... well that was ronaldo. cz ronaldo > henry.
@@RealistGunner Thats what I was saying all along. henry is the greatest premier league player but the guy said that he is the greatest player to ever play in premier league. That is different
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
even Peter Schmeichel is better than Aguero in terms of impact to PL
craziewill lol really. the mancity domination was possible because of aguero. and few others but aguero was very much the centre of it. the best moment in league history belongs to aguero. dont talk out of your ass
@@samiulhuda4001 wrong..
Ronaldo was better.
Suarez is one of the best ever. His technical ability is insane. If he didn't bite chiellini he would have won the league for Liverpool.
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.
Spot on!
Henry is the original Mbappe for people that don’t know.
@@wesleywinklaar i'd say M'bappe is slightly ahead of Henry at his current age, but obviously Henry's development spiked hugely when he went to Arsenal.

SINGH don’t forget Suarez missed the first 7 games on a ban (which was his own fault obviously)
As a United fan I've never admired a player more than Henry. That man was pure magic.
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.
The final pass is the hardest one
Henry. Wat he achieved invincibles was unbeatable . Aguero comes close though. Shearer scored those goals in much more games

@@dickieOiRed_07 That's why I said kid You should have started watching football post 2011, you see Cristiano Ronaldo started his Premier League Career way back in 2003 and played till 2009 (the same time as Thierry Henry who even though started in 1998) and broke way more records and won more trophies than Theirry Henry. And the rest of the stats in right in front you...!!? Lets call it out again what he did with Man United in PL before moving to Madrid:
1. One Ballon d'or, 4 PFA Young Player of the Year, 3 PFA Player of the year, FIFA World Player of the Year, One Champions League, One CL final, 3 PL Titles
2. 118 goals, 60 assists (from the midfield) in 5 years.
3. 42 goals a season in 2008, record highest ever by a midfielder since George Best way back in 1968.!!

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...
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
I’m a Liverpool supporter and without a doubt Thirre Henry was the best player that ever played in the English league
the irreplaceable king Thierry Henry! Respect
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
Or he was a goalscorer and is of the opinion it doesn't matter how you score, it's how many? Agueros goal ratio statistically makes him the best striker, and it's more impressive when you remember how much he's missed due to injuries. I think Henry is the best, but I'd also revisit the debate in 10 years when Aguero isn't still playing and see how it looks then
@@hex4292 but Aguero's impact was 0% Henry Revulioned the premier League by just toying with them! I mean look at this 258 apearences for Arsenal in 8 years: 228 goals in all competitions and 170 something in the premier league.... And that's just Henry the whole Arsenal squad in that era could be on that list lol
@@footballlover3549 sorry Agueros impact was 0%? That's why he's won 3 league titles and been City's top goal scorer every time? And scored one of the most famous goals in the premier league? Henry was magic, but that doesn't immediately make him the best
hex can you tell me much goal scoring ratio does Aguero leave Henry behind ? if you knew it then there is something wrong in your head, because the different is soooo small and yet can you tell me about Henry apart from scoring prowess, who is it still hold the goal assist record in a season, up to until now that record still had not been broken yet.
Plus you were crying about how much games does Aguero had miss ? it is because in order to be fair to Aguero that most people judge him by goal per game or minute ratio.
Plus the topic was about EPL best player regardless of whatever position that player play, it can be gk,cb,striker & etc,
Regardless, Aguero is a great striker and I pity him a little bit because he does not possess all around ability which Pep wanted for his forward player playing style which does hamper his playing time.
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.

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!
Aguero isn't even in the top 10?

All of those types of goals you've described are capable of being scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and if he stayed in the Premier League, Ronaldo would win best player of the Premier League era, hands down.
@@Unknown-rw2jv you could also say the same about Suarez. The goals he scored in his last season at Liverpool are better and alot more diverse than any season ron and Henry had. But he wasn't here long enough to prove his consistency. That's why Henry gets my vote.
Kevin Mcg, I do agree that Henry wins it, but had Ronaldo stayed in the Premier League, I believe he would've won it because Ronaldo would've helped United to win silverware whereas Suarez wouldn't have won anywhere near as much silverware with Liverpool, and the amount of silverware always comes into consideration when it comes to winning individual awards. But I will say that last season Suarez had at Liverpool was a better season than any season Aguero has had at Manchester City, so Alan Shearer is a deluded old man.

I find him similar to kaka, but unfortunately kaka could never realise his true potential.
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.
Henry without a doubt. Best in PL history, not just import. He ripped defenses apart. Left defenders of the highest calibre looking like idiots.

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.
he has 51 goals vs spurs arsenal everton chelsea liverpool utd hahaahahhahaaa
@@thetruthofit398 And how many against the elite in Europe? If he is to be known as the best foreign player in Prem, he's got to do more than that. And since being promoted in 2014, no player has more goals against the top 6 than Jamie Vardy, so thats who he is competing with in that department.
rarely scores against top teams??? eeeeediot
@@sergiovernon9796 i said rarely scores against top teams in Europe. Thats why Man City rarely make it to latter stages of CL. And the only time they did make it to latter stages. Debruyne was the one that pushed them to it.
rtyuu999 Napoli, in form Monaco, Barca, Bayern, Roma, Madrid
I'm surprised that Zola didn't get a mention? For ability to dominate opponents and make the difference you can list Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, Ronaldo, Schmeicel, Van Nistelrooy, Zola, Drogba, Suarez, Torres, Aguero, KDB as examples... but the biggest factor for me was how long they were in the Premiership and playing at a top level. That is why I agree that it has to be Thierry Henry.
He made number 14 get recognised around the world. Henry. Thank God that I managed to see him play.
14? Cruyff?
ahahahah are you kidding? You forgot about Cruyff?
@@Hoessein80 just do a simple pole ask people who they relate jersey 14 more to.
Thierry Henry hands down, in fact if you actually think about it, he’s also the best player of the premier league era
did everyone forget about Chamakh? SMH
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol are you smoking blunt?
😂😂😂And Sanogo
are you smoking shisha? he he he
and Yaya Sanogo
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.
Henry, Ronaldo, Drogba. Aguero maybe after these 3.
Aguerro is better than drogba!! Don't get me wrong drogba was great on big games but in terms of consistency drogba only managed 20+ goals twice but aguerro have done it more often
Ben Roberts remember droba ronaldo and henry played in a More difficult Premier league back than
@@RealistGunner exactly bro
Bergkamp

No they didn't, PL is the undisputed best league in the world at the moment. In Henry's time La Liga and arguably the Serie A were better
Thierry Henry without doubt
One word
BERGKAMP
With all due respect to aguero, this doesn't make much sense. Most ppl would prob say that Henry is better than Rooney, lampard and Gerrard who are the best English players to play in the pl. So saying aguero is better than Henry kind if implies that aguero is the best player to ever play in the premier league which doesn't sound right. Unless shearer thinks that their was an English player better than Henry.
Carbon 1 what about Scholes?
@@MoLetalis good call for the great unsung list, probably along with Keane, Viera, Matic and Makele, although I liked Craig Bellamy's punditry, I must say though he failed to mention a famously revered defender who was sitting opposite him, but then not from the premiership era. Then again if it's the premiership (and it will always be a forward), there's only one king and his name is Thierry Henry!
Aguero is not even in my Top-5, maybe Top-10. Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo these are best foreign players in EPL.
Bergkamp was superb. There will never be a player with such intelligence, ball touch, vision, shooting, passing.
Behind him the is room for discussion about players like viera, henry, cr7 or maybe de bruyne.
Henry is the one .
But can't fail to mention Ronaldo, David Silva, maybe Yaya Toure, Bergkamp..
K Roy Keane
Man Utd fan but has to be Henry🔥
Agree on Henry without hesitation however I'm surprised Drogba didn't even get a mention!
Henry no question
Dennis Bergkamp is The DNA of Arsenal and so to the PL. he made them stars TH and IR as well
Henry my favourite ..but Bergkamp had something different..the two dove-tailed perfectly
This video is an insult to Lord Bendtner, the greatest footballer to ever live!!
