[@DavidLucian]

Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️

[@Bread_Garlichouse]

He didn't cause Arsenal got knocked out of the UCL early, and he never really performed consistently in that comp.

[@markdance574]

Henry was so fluid , fast , clever - just totally awe inspiring. For me he’s in the top list of greatest players- maradona , Messi , pele , Ronaldo , Ronaldinho , Bergkamp , Gerrard , Lampard - all of them would have instant respect for Henry - says it all . As a lfc fan I was truly jealous of Arsenal during the time he played there . The unbeaten season in the PL is still a hugely underrated achievement.

[@zemmyiriabho8735]

[@patinho5589]

He’s not even in the top 10. There are a LOT of players historically. Here are some players I put above him (and above CR7 too) - Romario - Zico - Van Basten - Maradona - R9 - Cruyff (I have Pele and Messi as top two) So that’s already a top 8. I also like Michael Laudrup. Then there is Di Stefano And maybe have to put cr7 at number 11 due to his stats alone.

He will always be the King. It's fortunate to have witnessed him and the Arsenal team of early 2000 which made football an art, and he is correct in a way that they didn't win that many titles. Don't see the magic number of 20 Goals + 20 assists in a season that can be replicated by any player.

Zinchenko seems to think Jesus should play higher up the pitch but I'm convinced he's doing the right thing after watching this interview. Henry is right you don't have to be in the box to score goals, it's about team goals.

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

Berkamp was the best in the house

[@jayfreedom]

A literal cheat code, back in the day. Didnt seem fair on the opponents looking back. Faster, stronger, would drop off on the left hand side to pick up the ball. Defenders couldnt go with him as they would be out of position. Midfielders couldnt go over to cover as they left gaps in the centre of the park for Bergkamp to exploit. Right back ended up having to face Pires and Thierry on their own. Could dribble past defenders like they were statues, could score from anywhere. Completely broke the mould for a striker. Sensational. Unplayable. On countless occasions ❤❤❤
