Shearer was the better all-round centre-forward or striker, but Henry was the better footballer. Bergkamp mind was even better, as a footballer that is. People forget just how great Shearer was, people w*** themselves silly over Costa but he's not a patch on Shearer or the likes of him. He, Henry et al were true greats of the game and their era, players who will be remembered for decades and talked about whenever the subject of world-class strikers/players and goal scorers arise.
