    Saurez record at Ajax is something else he's a fantastic finisher. Gomez also needs a mention scores all the time for bayern. But shevchenko was fantastic just a shame he was finished by the time he came to Britain my favourite after Larsson.

    Thierry Henry's one of the best i've seen too, He is the only one in Britain i can genuinly say was better than Larsson at their time.

    Same, I would say at their peaks in about 2002/2003/2004 they were both the best strikers in the world. Henry would just have been a fraction ahead of Larsson as he had more pace with Shevchenko in 3rd a fraction behind Larsson.

    Henry is the only better finisher ive seen than Larsson since ive been watching football not including past players before like 1997, would say Henry, Larsson, Batistuta then Villa would be my top 4.

    How is that "Real Madrid tinted glasses"?

    Are you implying Ronaldo isn't one of the worlds top strikers?

    Henrik Larsson

    772 games played for 7 clubs
    434 goals scored
    A strike rate of 1.7

    If he retired just before his spell with Man United this would have been down at around 1.4.

    Incredible.
