Former Arsenal star Henry was also able to collect a few other arguments in his favor. The 1998 World Cup winner was the Premier League’s top scorer on four occasions and is the foreigner with the most goals scored behind Agüero. Finally, Henry also holds the record for the most goals scored in an Arsenal shirt.
Premier League Hall of Fame: Who follows Shearer and Henry?
Shearer won the Golden Boot on three occasions and won the title with Blackburn Rovers in 1995. The striker was also voted the best player in the league on five occasions—four times while playing for Newcastle United. Shearer is also the Magpies’ record field player in the Premier League. Only goalkeeper Shay Given has played more often for the club since 1992.
