Being a Gooner, it's one of the two for me but I've gone with Bergkamp.  Everytime he touched the ball something exciting would happen and even in this last season he played some amazing football.

He was such a great signing and possibly one of the best ever signings by Arsenal imo.  Certainly the best signing by Bruce Rioch Cheesy

Looking at this list. It's Keane without a doubt.

He's won at least 15 major honours in England.

If that's how it's judged then he's your man.

Anyway I'm biased  Cheesy Cheesy

 

p.s. Henry would be my runner up.

For consistency over the years and his influence I've gone for Keane.

Terry Henry would be a close 2nd.

This is a tricky one and depends on how you judge it- technically I would have to say Zola was the best followed closely by Bergkamp, but if I could have anybody it would be Keane when he was in his prime(this coming from a Rangers fan lol) I just think Keane had that match winning mentality and never say die attitude-he played for the jersey

P.S I voted for Zola though as the best cuz I believe he is technically the best out of the lot

Why is Ardilles not on the list??

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

A Utd fan going for Thierry Henry. Disagree with the anti Cantona posts but Henry is still the best player in premiership history for me.

Best player is Henry by a distance IMO.

But Cantona is the reason Utd were dominant for so long. He brought a huge change to their mind set. He made them winners.

Keane great player. But I couldn't vote for him in a one man election!

The other were/are miles behind.

Henry gets heavily criticized if he has an off day.

They are few and far between from what I've seen.

Most of the time, he delivers the goods. Worth his weight in golden gold.

He's not afraid of deep vein thrombosis. He isn't keen to express himself too heavily to Palace fans and he doesn't give his national coach backchat as if he were bigger than the team.  Cheesy

I hate poncy French names with avengenge, yet he's so good I still had to vote for him in spite of this.
