"The last player you want the ball to go to is the best player on the planet." - Steven Gerrard
"He's the best player in the world and already one of the all time greats." - Ruud Van Nistelrooy
"Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game." - Zinedine Zidane
"Thierry Henry, he was definitely the best. He was just too quick. Oh God, what a player he was. I was so relieved when he went to Barcelona. He used to have everything. You couldn't even kick him, he was big and strong, oh, Jesus, he was a nightmare" - Jamie Carragher
"In Henry they had a forward so elusive that he was almost unplayable at his peak" - Gary Neville
"I love it when he takes the ball and darts downfield for 30 yards, making one, two, three defenders fall as they chase him. He's breaking ankles out there. Every time he touches the ball, you know he's going to do something crazy maybe something you've never seen before " - Tony Parker
"He's always a big concern with Arsenal, always a great threat to us. I think he's one of the few players that has scored regularly against us. His time with Arsenal was fantastic and he's always been a good role model in how he holds himself, as a footballer and a human being. He's never wavered from that type of professionalism that you need to achieve that status" - Sir Alex Ferguson
"The best player i ever played against is Thierry Henry. He was something else; i've played against Rooney and Ronaldo and players like that but i think he was the best player ever to play in the Premier League" - Jamie Carragher
