Top 10 Premier League strikers of all time - #1

Sports Mole's countdown of the top 10 Premier League strikers of all time concludes with number one - Thierry Henry.

Thierry Henry (Arsenal)

Alan Shearer may be the Premier League's greatest ever goalscorer, but Thierry Henry is arguably the competition's greatest ever player.

The Arsenal legend was transformed from a winger to one of the most prolific strikers in the world under Arsene Wenger, scoring at least 20 goals across all competitions in all but his final season at the club.

Henry went through a five-season spell when he scored at least 24 Premier League goals - and 30 in all competitions - every year, with his crowning glory coming in 2003-04 as 30 of his 39 strikes came in the top flight.

Arsenal, of course, won the Premier League title without losing a single game that season, and Henry also won the trophy in 2001-02, in addition to two FA Cups during his time in North London.

The French World Cup winner left for Barcelona in 2007, but he returned for a brief second spell in 2011-12 when he took his final Arsenal tally up to a club-record 228 goals in 376 appearances - including 175 in just 258 Premier League outings.

Henry struck fear in defences in a way no Premier League striker has done before or since, and ended his career in England as a two-time PFA Players' Player of the Year, three-time FWA Footballer of the Year, two-time Premier League Player of the Season and four-time Golden Boot winner.
