alan shearer!

Henry is not even close to Brazil's Ronaldo, needless to say Pele and the other legends. FFS, vote with brains.

Lev Yashin = The Black Spider

hmmm... but his fan do call him Black Panther.

Hey where is George Best?

he's not a striker

cantona anyone?

Surprised Drogba is not in.

Drogba is not considered as best striker.
He needs more time to improve.

More time to improve? Isn't he like 30 already

people here mentioned Drogba, Cantona(not exactly a striker), Best(not a striker either). C'mon, what about Puskas?

Klinsmann...he's always my favourite !!

where is Eusebio?

T.Henry FTW when he was with Arsenal.....He can score from various style....

Won't believe the maturity of this thread if it's not Pele or Maradona, in those days there is no such thing as diving/fall until you really send them tumbling. True footballers.

maybe TS didnt know who's Eusebio is... one of the great striker and legend...
but for me still Diego Maradona the best...

Why is Cantona even in the list?!...
Is he suppose to be a striker?!
Manc fans care to clarify?!

My take is still with Maradona. I've no say about Pele though he is a legend; cos I never watch him play.
But Maradona, not many players currently can match is agility and center of gravity. Not to mention skills.

wow, the poll is definitely biased towards the viewpoint of club based supporters. judge the players subjectively, by their achievements and contributions, not over irrelevant stuff like which club they play for. imho cantona and henry are right at the top due to the huge amount of manu and arsenal supporters.how could they eclipse players like pele and maradona?hey, if someone inserted ian rush on the polling list, i bet he would be in the top three too.

Heck, put Torres, Tevez or Adebayor there and they'll get a fair number of votes themselves. Football wasn't invented this century people.

Henry is still understandable. But Cantona?!.....Is he even a striker for starters?!
Why I mentioned Henry is still understandable is because like I mentioned in my previous post whereby Pele might be a legend, but personally I never seen him play and the playing field during his era is different.
However, I've seen Maradona and most of the other players thus my vote goes to Maradona and yes, he's a wolrd recognised legend too.

Thus I do agree with MobyDick whereby if it's not Pele or Maradona....there might be something bias going on. Maybe the youngster do not know who these ppl are. Even so, I'm so incline to vote for Romario. But we can only choose one. Romario is also a class of his own and top scorer with 1000 goals albeit controversially claimed.

but I guess most Pool's fan would agree that within our team itself most vote would still go to Rushie as our best striker.

in my opinion a great striker scores many different type of goals and score it with beauty and talent...if most goals are from just tap ins and headers ...then its a boring striker...
