1. Thierry Henry ( Arsenal)
Just pipping Cantona to the top spot is Arsenal’s goal-machine, and the final piece of their holy French trinity, Thierry Henry. While Henry is among the most prolific scorers of all time, averaging 0.68 goals a game in the Premier League, what is remarkable is the ease with which the ball sticks to Henry’s feet. As easy on the eye as any Brazilian dribbler in full flow, Henry made an ideal forward, sought after by all managers who set their sight on him. Another weapon in Henry’s Arsenal was his lethal ability to find the net from set-pieces. Thierry Henry, by a whisker, is the top French player to have played in the Premier League thus far.
Other Noteworthy Frenchmen: Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Marcel Dessaily (Chelsea)
