Who else did you think it might be? At the height of his powers, Thierry Henry was the complete attacking package. No other striker boasts a better goals-per-game average than King Henry in the league's history.

A World Cup winner at just 21, it seems weird how the Juventus directors tried to loan out the mercurial Frenchman to Udinese to make way for a certain Marcio Amoroso. Today, they will most certainly regret not heeding Carlo Ancelotti's advice to let him stay.

Being the spearhead of a resurgent Arsenal side under Arsene Wenger, Henry conquered the league in a way that no other striker has ever done. His goalscoring exploits are proof for why he is regarded as the biggest name in Premier League folklore.

Thanks to his ability in front of goal, the eagle-eyed hitman holds records that will be quite a challenge to overcome. He won more Golden Boots than any other player, apart from holding the record for most assists in a season (19).

We don't know whether the Premier League will ever see a lethal marksman of his caliber. But, for now, Thierry Henry rightly owns the crown as the league's greatest ever striker.
