Henry voted as best foreign player in England
|
Arsenal skipper Thierry Henry has been voted the greatest foreigner to ever play in the Premiership in a poll of more than 1.5million votes.
The Arsenal boss reflected: "It is one of the best signings - but no-one could predict he would be the success he would be.
"I always felt that between 28 and 32 the players are at their peak, they get everything together.
"When you are a striker you are served by all the others. When you are a goalkeeper, you watch all the games; when you are a midfielder you watch the game in a complete different way to a striker.
"Thierry is very intelligent and he can put himself in the position of all the other departments and analyse them."
The poll, conducted by Sky, saw former Leeds and Manchester United star Eric Cantona finish second.
