best EPL striker (all time)

[ianhall65]

who is the best striker to grace the EPL personally i think it's Cantona

 

[Mike]

There are many true greats (as discussed in a different thread):

Thierry Henry - in my opinion the best.
Eric Cantona
Alan Shearer
Andy Cole
JF Hasselbaink
Gianfranco Zola

 

[MisterStubbs]

my good friend, Stan Collymore :S lol

 

[Slacky]

I think Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank, Bergkamp, Cantona, Paul Gascoine or Alan Shearer but i think if you asked me this question in 10 years, im assuming Wayne Rooney would be added to that list

 

[Man v.1]

Agreed with Mike. Thierry Henry is the best! (H)

 

[ianhall65]

jimmy floyd wasn't as good as yorke or fowler

 

[MisterStubbs]

jimmy floyd wasn't as good as yorke or fowler

or Collymore

 

[ianhall65]

true STAN IS THE MAN

 

[MisterStubbs]

true STAN IS THE MAN

yes yes! still has it as well lol play with him every thursday in a 7 a side league bangs goals in for fun! if were talking in terms of goal scores though, Ruud Van Nistlerooy has to be on the shortlist for sure

 

[ianhall65]

ruud and henry were great but i don't think the best

Alan shearer, all time top goalscorer, look no further

 

[ianhall65]

took him many years though Cantona is 1 of the greatest of all time

plus his kick at the fan was class

 

[Deleted member 79730]

Shearer was better than cantona because he scored more goals than him, thats a strikers job, period

 

[ianhall65]

Cantona Played much much less EPL games than Shearer

 

[Ben]

Thierry Henry.

 

[Deleted member 79730]

If not shearer its easily henry, goalwise shearer but classwise henry

 

[ianhall65]

shearer played 559 to cantana's 172 EPL games so you really can't base it on that joe

your maybe to young to remember cantana

 

[Deleted member 79730]

Cantona was also a cocky little mug

 

[ianhall65]

doesn't mean he wasn't a great striker/player

 

[Deleted member 79730]

Also up there would be
Gianfranco Zola
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Michael Owen
Dennis Bergkamp
Robbie Fowler
Les Ferdinand
Teddy Sheringham
