"If you want to call him that"? 174 goals in 254 appearances? Whatever you think about his performances outside England, only an idiot would argue he wasn't a success in England. I'd be hard-pressed to name a bigger success here this decade.

He's France's top scorer ever, which isn't exactly "average" either.

Were all these guys in the team that Scotland humped at Wembley in 1967?

(And yes, I know we've been utter pish for the best part of 2 decades, but we have to find small victories where we can).
I think Jimmy Greaves played instead of Roger Hunt .
Such a well oiled machine was disrupted by that change , and Scotland took advantage ! ! 😉😉😉

Also a majot 'big game' bottler!
I read this and knew that you'd written it, durs73.

I was under the impression that he won a World Cup and a European Cup (topscoring for France) with France, and everything possible with Barca.

You might want to read the part where I mentioned that he top scored for France in the tournament again.

Try slowly, and don't bother concentrating on not moving your lips. You need the processing power for comprehension.

Why would I want to answer a completely random and off topic question within the constraints set by somebody who would make pre-schoolers look like Einsteins?

You say Henry only ever achieved in the PL, I debate your point by saying that he won an international WC, EC (top scoring for his nation) and everything possible for Barca (A Spanish team by the way).

You say he had no influence in those wins. I respond by pointing you to the words where I had mentioned that he top scored for his nation in 1 of the comps. I may also have added that he top scored for Barca in his debut season, and broke a goal scoring record along with Messi and Etoo in his second. I may also have added that he had a goal scoring record of nearly 1 in 2 for his nation. I may also have added that he is France's all time top scorer.

Fairly obvious that you're statement is dead in the water refuted.

Instead of holding your hand up, and accepting your statement was borne of pure partisan hatred, you retort with some completely unrelated gibberrish about John O'Shea?

BTW, I now have a picture of you in my head...http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/up_dog.jpg

I look forward to your "SQUIRREL!!!!" like response.

yes yes.. but u seem to think that a player with a lot of winners medals is the best in the world.. but football is a team sport.

u need to watch games instead of having your head buried in stats.

The point i am making is that just because he has all those titles under his name in a TEAM game does not make him a great player- hence the ref to john O'shea- who has only won all his medals because he plays with World Class players- not because he is a World class Player.

EDIT-- henry was top score for his nation in that competition with 3 goals- he was joined 3rd top scorer with five other players in that tournament (for REG who loves his stats!)
ps 2 players scored 5 goals and one scored 4 goals- then come our henry with 5 others who scored 3 each!

You really are a waste of time RAG- as you know F-all about football- so plase go away and stop posing stupid posts here- theres a good boy... go to bed you got school on monday

Quote where I said this.

Re: your edit, what relevance does Henry's coming 3rd top scorer overall have to do with the fact that you said he contributed nothing to France winning, and I mentioned he top scored for them?

Looking at your levels of (il)literacy, you really shouldn't bring school into your slags.
