    I would say ruud , scored goals at every club, i thought henry was dissapointing at barcelona to be honest , I think playing for arsenal suited his style of play more.

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy was one of the best goalscorers i've ever seen but Henry in his prime when at Arsenal was arguably the best player in the world, he was phenomenal.

    Henry gets my vote.

    I went for Henry too, I think either he or Batistuta are the best finishers ive seen in my time. Henry had the ability to score a goal from anywhere within 30 yards of goal and often did, unstoppable at his very best.

    2 completely different players

    Van Nistelrooy was a goal scoring machine and one of my favourite players ever but Henry was class

    my love for Ruud was too much to vote for the cheating * that is Henry

    Both were excellent strikers but I think Henry edges it.

    Love Van Nistelrooy, think he's immensely underrated. The one game I've seen at Old Trafford was in 2006 against Fulham and United scored four, he didn't score any of them but was easily the best player on the park.

    I have despised Henry ever since I started watching football so I voted Van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy was a big game player, Henry's best performances were always against the Leeds and Leicesters.
