Thierry Henry

Arguably the Premier League's greatest foreign import and quite possibly the best player the division has ever seen, Thierry Henry was nigh-on unstoppable on his day - which came around all too often for the rest of the teams in the league.

Henry arrived at Highbury as primarily a winger in 1999, but Arsene Wenger's decision to switch him into a central striking role proved to be a masterstroke and the prolific forward left eight years later as the club's all-time leading scorer with 228 goals.

Capable of everything from slaloming runs to stunning long-range strikes, there was always danger when Henry was in possession and some of his best goals are among the most memorable in Premier League history - often coming in the big games too.

The Frenchman had to wait until 2002 for his first trophies at the club, when he scored 32 goals across all competitions to inspire the Gunners to a Premier League and FA Cup double.

Henry scored 32 again the following year before his most prolific term in North London saw him notch 39 goals - including 30 in Arsenal's unbeaten title-winning Premier League season - to register the highest-scoring campaign for the club since 1934-35.

The striker's form that year saw him win a second PFA Player of the Year award and his second of three FWA Footballer of the Year awards, in addition to finishing as a runner-up in the voting for the FIFA World Player of the Year for the second season in a row.

A four-time winner of the Premier League's Golden Boot, Henry left for Barcelona in 2007 before a brief return on loan in 2012, when he took his tally for the club up to 175 goals in 258 Premier League appearances.

Henry won two titles and two FA Cups during his time in England, but despite a relative lack of silverware considering his ability, few players have ever made as big an impact on the Premier League.
