Thierry Henry, a member of the Invicibles' Arsenal squad, is said to be one of the greatest players in Premier League history. He remains the only EPL player to score 20+ goals and provide 20+ assists in a season and win four Golden boots.

Henry's 24 goals and 20 assists came in his fourth season with Arsenal but sadly that did not earn him the Golden Boot. He was edged by Ruud Van Nistelrooy who scored 25 goals. Henry still went on to become the recipient of both the PFA Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards.

The French international scored seven goals in the UCL and a goal in the FA Cup, taking his tally to a total of 32 goals in all competitions.
