There is a poll at the bottom of the article. Shearer currently has 6%.

 

Clearly influenced by a younger generation, I can accept Henry above Shearer but anyone else?  Nah.

 

Well not even Henry if its goals alone, Shearer smashes everyone and he did it in a struggling team (at times).

Henry's goals-to-games ratio though.

 

Someone worked it out on twatter. First 8 seasons in PL:

 

Henry - 254 games - 174 goals

Shearer - 253 games - 176 goals

 

The 'Henry had a better ratio thing' is a myth for the same 'time' period.

 

Would he have equalled or bettered Shearers record if he'd stayed? Who knows.

That's so loaded it's ridiculous :lol:

 

Up to 11% now the NO vote has mobilised :lol:

 

You wait til RTG get hold of it marra.  They love rigging online polls. 

 

They'll probably all be up in arms that Sewpa Kev, Saint Niall and Kevin Ball didn't make the shortlist.

Still say though in terms of players who have been in the Premier League Schmeichel has the best case out of anyone for saying they are a legitimate contender for being the best ever in their position.

I actually used to think similar till I watched a few of my girlfriend's brother's Man U season review vids. Great keeper and probably the best to play in the PL but he wasn't infallible by a long way. I think Buffon is the best in my lifetime.
