Very good player, he should have joined Manchester United and he'd have likely been on.

Frank Lampard made the top five. That's good representation for West Ham.

Nice list Alf,

Even as an Arsenal fan I wouldn't have had Henry top. Probably not even top three if I'm honest. I remember his first two seasons where he was very wasteful with chances.

I agreed more with the other list TBH. I think you've missed a few. Le Tissier is a glaring omission for me. To score 100 goals from midfield in such a short space of time. Gareth Barry is the other one I'd have had in. He's made the most appearances. I think if I made a list it would be more about great players who didnt play for Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. and then we get to players like Gary Speed, Di Canio, Defoe, Le Tissier, Barry etc

Henry was the easiest decision I had to make, unbelievable player for Arsenal and the Premier League.

I'm regretting leaving him out of that list yesterday.

Greatest Irish Players
Greatest Manchester United players
Greatest Liverpool players
Greatest Arsenal players
And many more

Just make a suggestion what you wanna see and I can put a list together.

I probably would struggle with greatest Birmingham City players, sorry Mock.

He’d be in my top three with Hoddle and Jay-Jay Okocha ... guess Hoddle was pre-premier league ..

Scottish it will be.

I'll do Post war players. That would leave out a great pre war player called Alex James. James was one of the star players of the Arsenal side that dominated English football in the 1930's (Arsenal's Golden period) He was also England legend, Sir Tom Finney's footballing hero.

There won't be too many modern players in the list, maybe one or two, but Scotland just haven't been producing the World class players in more modern times, like they used too.

I did start researching, and had a list of about 80 players and I'd need to cut that down to about 50, I may come back to it in the new year.

He was considered, no doubt a great goalscorer. I'm afraid some players just had to miss out.
