Yeah I think youâre right numbers wise. Henry in 02-04 was incredible and Iâd say is the very best player to ever play in England.

Iâll just add, he was just as good in 2005 and 2006. Imo his two best season were 2002/03 and 2005/06, 2003/04 and 2004/05 were pretty close one to each other, and just slightly behind 03 and 06.

Just accidentally found this too, not much footage of his Juve days out there. A collectorâs item.

He should have won the FIFA World Player of the Year at least once.

The best chance was definitely in 2003.
I said it already, I had nothing against Nedved in front of him that year (Nedved won the Ballon dâor), but imo it would be fair Henry got the other top award at least - the FIFA poty award. Zidane won it and that was a joke, Henry was comfortably better than him that year. Zidane only came fifth for Ballon dâor that year.
Just a reminder, Henry came second in both votes.

2006 was a good chance, too.
If FIFA are only being snobs and looking at final appearances/wins etc, then Henry reached the CL and WC final that year.
Cannavaro won it for Italyâs boring WC win.

Yeah.
2006 was the breaking point for me and since then I donât take those awards too serious.
They basically only judged it on the World cup performances that year. In reality it was between Henry and Ronaldinho.

The awards are shit.
Donât get me wrong, itâs nice for defenders to be recognised, but Henry was a better player than Cannavaro in 2006 based on where he dragged his club and country.

I know itâs popular to shit on Nedveds win but he was probably the best player in the CL that year. He won Serie A player of the year, foreign player of the year, UEFA best midfielder awards and also won the Serie A and took his team to the final of the CL.
If Henry won it, it wouldnât have been controversial but Nedved himself was a supreme player and thereâs a strong case for him being the best in the world that year.

You know the only Scotsman to have won the World player of the year award?
Both Nedved and Henry deserved it that year. Really close.
Neved was one of my biggest idols among footballers in those years. Had his poster on my room doors actually.

Nah. 2006 was only Ronaldinhoâs year he won the CL and La Liga and was the best player in the world despite an underwhelming World Cup. Giving it to Henry in 2006 would have been farcical.

Nahh, farcial? Henry was pushing Arsenal just as much as Ronaldinho was pushing Barca in the CL that year. Also a brilliant season in the PL.
Barca being the better and more successful team that year doesnât improve Ronaldinhoâs performances.
Henryâs slightly better world cup perfomance arguably gives him the edge (not too important), although I wouldnât mind Ronaldinho winning it that year. Again, not much between them that year. Cannavaro was the joke.
