Editor's Take:

Thierry Henry turned from a struggling winger into one of the Premier League's finest strikers. Arsène Wenger moved him to centre forward at Arsenal. His speed, close control and calm finishing made him unstoppable. He won four Golden Boots and led the Invincibles. His handball against Ireland in 2009 remains a sore point there. He later became a manager and a TV pundit. To many Arsenal fans he is simply the greatest.
