Theirry Henry. An absolute legend. I don't know if any player can ever light up the Premier League again like he did in my lifetime! I've been a gooner for 55 years. When I couldn't go to a game, there was nothing sweeter than tuning into it on the radio and hearing "Henrrrry! He has done it again. Even the opposition fans are on their feet." He was just incredible. Watching Rachel conduct this interview so brilliantly was awesome. Truly from one legend to another. She smashed it! ❤️ 😍 💖 Proud to be a gooner. Thanks, guys. 👏 🔥🔥

[@TheGreatVivek7]

There is someone who has done better. Both Thierry Henry and Salah have played 370 games for their respective clubs and both have scored 226 goals. However, there is one notable difference... Mo Salah is a “winger”.

[@Milkshake-c2j]

@TheGreatVivek7 In all due respect. Henry was also a winger. Wenger persuaded him that he could be a prolific striker. To me, that is additional talent. Nobody is disputing thst Salah isn't good or the number of goals scored. However, how many people would say they started following football because of Mo Salah. Most of the time, with Henry, they were electrifying. That's why he is regarded as a stand-out player.

[@TheGreatVivek7]

@@Milkshake-c2j Salah's first season was quite amazing too. Maybe you are not aware how popular Salah is in Africa. He is regarded as the best African player ever and there is a story about Egyptian election for presidential candidate in which Mo Salah won the election. Voters struck out names of both the candidates and wrote Salah.

Wish I had told him what I thought of him at the time, which was I think you will be special. He was more then special so I was wrong 😅

[@rudolphgeorge1047]

Legend of the game, he made my connection with the club and the brand of beautiful football

[@marzipanmonkey]

At his peak there simply wasn't a better striker in PL history and he burnt brightly for many seasons in a row. He literally was the complete package... graceful on the ball, blisteringly fast with it at his feet, strong, powerful, incredibly clinical, could improvise with spectacular results and just entertained the crowd with so many special and incredible memories! That's before you even mention how much of a team player he was by his incredible assist record culminating in him holding the record with KDB to this day with most assists in a PL season. As an attacking package he simply was the the best we've seen.
