Barthez too short...He is lucky that henry only did that once...

henry!!...

On a side note, Pahang once wanted to sign Ian Wright, when he was still playing for Arsenal!

How to compare, both good at their times.

Back then, Malaysian football weren't in such horrible state. We were actually going in the right direction, good players were interested to play for top Malaysian team at the right price. Can't believe the likes of Tony Cottee and David Rocastle use to grace the scene of Malaysian football. We were, what USA/Qatar is doing right now in attracting a few ageing but top class players with a huge paycheck to play for us. But of coz back then the likes of Tony Cottee didn't command such a huge paycheck like now. Unfortunately now, even a Division 2 player would think twice about playing here.

let me correct you. Ian wright started his career earlier than drogba. you cant say he is similar/something like drogba. Vice Versa, u sure said drogba has the similarity with him or whoever (started career than drogba)

Don't forget another ex-Gunner, Chris Kiwomya Tony Cottee wasn't happy that he had to wash his own boots here. I would kill to see how many goals Ian Wright would have scored had he played in our league.

Haha, and Tony Cottee was pissed off that he was awaken at 5am in the morning coz his room mate woke up for prayers.

Wrighty might not have scored that many goals you know. He would not have gotten the type of support he used to get from Overmars, Bergkamp, Suker, Kanu and etc.

hmm, then 1 that blasted passed carroll in highbury but the match ended 1-1 after saha equalised ....

He would have had he played for the Red Giants! Zoran Nikolic was one of the best playmakers in the league at the time. Ah I'm getting carried away

Who needs playmakers when you have Scott Oleranshaw!!!

I voted for Henry, he is good in dribble and long shot, especially his direct freekick.

of coz thierry henry larh

y no bergkamp....
if got bergkamp, i sure vote for him...
btw, for me ian wright is the best...

It's unfair to compare them. Beside being different types of player (as striker), they are from different generation as well.

Football itself has been very different compared to other or older generations.

Also, it's unfair to Ian Wright since not many of us here have watched him playing before (beside Bergkamp's testimonial match)... and that's including me!

I chose not to vote.

my vote goes to ian wright.
henry doesn't perform well at international level.

Penang kaki ka ? Your current avatar shows otherwise....

Best striker = Juan Arostegui

Oh wait, Ollerenshaw played for Sabah ...

Hattrick in every game?

Misconception.

France's current all time top scorer = Thierry Henry

If anything, Wrighty's international career with the English NT is pretty much pathetic for a player of his calibre.

It's hard to differentiate between the two Highbury legends, but Thierry takes my vote because of his ability to create goals apart from scoring them. Of course, I'm biased since Wrighty left Arsenal before I started supporting them... yet Wrighty will always be a legend.

Well I've watched both of them and I gave as fair as analysis as possible. Wright was a more direct player and had excellent predatory instincts in the box while Henry is more versatile and has more overall ability. For that I went with Henry. I still can't figure out until today why Wright's England career was so poor, much like Robbie Fowler's.

maybe that time all the spot light at (spurs)gary lineker?
