Top 5 Premier League forwards of all-time

#2 Theirry Henry

Henry was known for his dribbling skills and pace throughout his time at Arsenal

One of the all-time great, this Frenchman was known for his dribbling skills and pace that allowed him to run past defenders with ease and also for his cool finishing in one on one situations.

He could also operate well on the left wing side, a position where he used to play during his early years. He was also known for his creative and unselfish play, that enabled him to provide many assists to the team.

He has won several individual awards like the Player of the Season on two occasions. Henry also played an important part in Wenger's Arsenal, that remained unbeaten throughout the 2003-04 season.

#1 Alan Shearer

Shearer is the all-time leading goalscorer in the history of the Premier League

The top scorer of all time in the English Premier League with 260 goals, it's hardly objectionable as to why he is the number 1 in our list. Shearer won the league with Blackburn in the 1994-95 season and was also the player of the season that year.

Though it was Blackburn where he enjoyed most of his success, it was at Newcastle United where he scored the majority of his goals. Shearer was known for his heading ability and strong shots that enabled him to score most of his goals.

He was also known for his physical play, something which brought him praise as well as criticism. Later on his career, he was often deployed as a target man when his legs had robbed him of his pace. He was also good at hold up play, linking up well with his teammates. He remains at the top of the goal chart to date and it looks like his record would stay there for a pretty long time.
