Defoe being on the list ahead of cantona bergkamp van persie van nistelroy Suarez Owen Torres anelka tevez les Ferdinand le tissier Zola and many others is crazy

[Official__Blake]

No RVP, no van Nistelrooy, no Cantona, no Bergkamp but Defoe and Vardy make it… that’s actually insane

[rowly]

Legend says Akinfenwa is still using 20, 000 words to try and make 1 simple point to this day

[TadeeJaiyeola]

From Drogba in 9th, to Aguero in 6th to not having RVP, Eric Cantona or Michael Owen in this list is criminal from Akinfenwa.

[JamesClarke.yt.]

Respect to the hosts for trying to include Marva in the conversation. The bicking between roy and akinfenwa had her very excluded, and when she did get a point in. It was extremely sensible

[dionmccaffrey]

Not in the top 10 but a very honourable mention is Robbie Keane, nearly 20 goals every season he played, goal machine.

[tega]

l'm a chelsea fan but i think its crazy that robin van persie wasn't even mentioned, for me he's for sure top 10

[hundredpercentx]

Aguero never seems to rank in the top 3-5 of these lists. I find it astonishing. His goals to game ratio was incredible, he did it for almost a decade without a bad season, always scored in big games and won more trophies than most.

[Kreater]

1 thing for certain is that henry at #1, haven't seen anything like him since.

[RoryJenningsFootball]

Bayo causing all sorts of problems here with this wild list! Loved being on, wonderful show. Wonderful people.

[jamesmc]

Love the respect to Vardy. Over 130+ prem league goals scored. Won premier league player of the season and the golden boot. Has a premier league and an FA cup. Hes 36 and hes still scoring goals. Hes arguably the most overlooked player in premier league history.

[TheKaijuHunter]

No Ruud van Nistelrooy?! He scored 150 goals in 219 games for United.

I’m a Liverpool fan, but Aguero was the player who scared me the most out of everyone in premier league history besides Ronaldo and Hazard. He was the complete package as a striker, so many times against Liverpool he created a chance or goal out of nothing, like that long range goal when we were winning 3-0 and he took it from the halfway line when City were playing awful, or when he used to create assists in the 6 yard box easily. He’s statistically the 4th best dribbler in Europe in the 21st century after Messi, Hazard and Neymar. He was strong, good in the air, won 5 premier leagues, has the best goals per game ratio in prem history and has scored the most goals against the big 6 in prem history too. There’s a reason Rio Ferdinand said he was tougher to play than Suarez. Also the “best team” argument is senseless considering City weren’t always the best team when Aguero played for them. Are you gonna say the same for Rooney at United or De Bruyne at City?

Putting any striker besides Henry ahead of him is just English bias

[tharcisse]

Jermaine Defoe over Ruud van Nistelrooy is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard 😂

[TottiMessiTorres]

I get that longevity is a thing which is probably why he was excluded as he was only in the Prem for 3 and a half years, but Luis Suarez without question one of the best forwards I've ever seen play in this division.

[ibrahimdiallo]

1) Henry: PL GOAT
2) Rooney: 5 PL, Goals for fun, in big games, wonderful goals, versatile
3) Kane: 2nd top scorer in PL history with spurs, most prolific in PL
4) Shearer: Simply based on the most goals
5) Aguero: Monster goal scorer with 184 goals, big moment, 5PL
6) Cole: 187 goals, before haaland most goals in a season, 5PL
7) Bergkamp: Invincible, 3PL, not a goalscorer but technically sound and incredible
8) Drogba: Big game player, had everything you could want, 4PL
9) Cantona: 4PL and brought Man u back to glory days
10 Fowler: 163 goals, no titles won but kept liverpool afloat for one of their worst periods
Honorable mentions: Defoe, Owen, Vardy, RVP, Ferdinand

[JamesHowley-kwrz]

I love how everyone just agrees that Henry is the best. What a player. I’m so glad I grew up watching him in that era. He made me love football, and that’s a hell of a gift to give someone.

[Dub_Northside]

You ask any United fan of a certain generation and the answer is Cantona..Granted not as prolific as others but what he did for United I'm eternally grateful. 26 years without a title..He was the final piece in the jigsaw.

[jhaych]

Defoe over van nistelrooy? van persie? Yorke? Suarez? Cantona? Bergkamp?

[gazbason]

For me. Leaving out Van Persie and Van Nistlerooy is crazy, and I’m a Liverpool fan
