If you didn't know much about him, read his Wikipedia page, and it'll blow your mind. Wait, can't you even see the records listed on Henry's first pic? Na beans? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Drogba is a complete striker Henry is one dimensional Can you name an important game Henry scored in like a Semi or final of the CL, or final of the FA cup, his achievement with France well he should thank the likes of Zidane, Djorkaef, Deschamp etc. more like riding on the wave of that moment, when they all retired before the 2006 world cup, France nearly dropped but begged Zidane to come out of retirement who save the day and saved the tournament for France but for Arsenal the only thing Henry could right home about is the Premier League, But Drogba against the best teams in Europe will score! Actually if you ask the question who does the defender fear most Drogba or Henry 2 Likes |

omar22:Just read other comments and you'll see that Na only you Waka come. Saying Drogba is better than Henry is an insult to Henry. It's either you're a die hard Drogba fan who can even claim he's better than Messi or you never watched Henry play. The fact that you said Henry is one dimensional makes me doubt if you saw him play at all. Do you know better than FIFA and UEFA, and those who vote for outstanding players? Abeg find someone else to compare your Drogba with. No doubt, Drogba is a great player, I respect him, just as I love Chelsea. But let's just face the truth here! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Hehe... Yeye dey smell... Ask Drogba this same question if he won't personally tell U that Henry is one of the greatest strikers / players and he (Henry) is ahead of him. Moreover, why do we have statistics? The stats speaks volume johr. Both are successful, but Henry is more successful. |

Hw long did it take henry to get to the level you all started seeing him as exceptional, I respect him so much but can someone correct me if I am wrong, did frank lampard not just equalled his record a few days back in terms of goal scoring? Yet lampard was not built for goals he ws to create chances"assist" a midfielder. Henry in arsenal was treated like messi and Ronaldo. Am waiting to hear the midfielder that. Will equal messi or ronaldos record in 2000yrs in goal scoring. Henry did well for himself, club and country. Drogba with all the odds against him and starting late at the highest level. Did great for himself aswell for his country and clubs. Both are great players but drogbas story will interest ppl more. He had a shorter time than henry and achieved almost the same real and I mean real achievements. Only the world cup separates them and to be honest Drogba is from ivory coast and henry from France. You guys knw the rest. 1 Like |

Don't even bother comparing them enjoy their stories and watch their old clips and be happy with yourself. I hope tomorrow all the good work aguero is doing in city will not be rubbished because somebody wants to compare him with Cronaldo? Henry did his job and Drogba did his. But since we all have sentiments, I will say it ws Drogba who was not afraid to enter into a territory controlled by henry and ended up conquering the territory and chasing king henry out. Just like c Ronaldo ws not afraid of entering into lionel's jungle conquerd but has not chased messi away yet. I don't knw if he will eve do dat, but in laliga there are 2captains in a boat. Drogba challenged henry as mourinho challenged 2 gods wenger and fergie. Drogba crowned it all up by stayin with chelsea to win the UCL for chelsea in bayern munichs backyard against bayern munich. Exceptional. It was drogbas champions League, henry's own barca's champions leaugue. 1 Like |

I azimibraun: If the time it takes to achieve something really counts, then you shot yourself in the foot by bringing Lampard into the discussion. Lampard scored his 175 goals in 19 years and in just one league. Henry scored his 175 goals within just eight years (1999-2007). In addition he scored 20 goals at Monaco before arriving at Arsenal. And after leaving Arsenal, he scored 35 goals for Barca and 51 goals for New York Red Bulls. In all, Henry had a total of 284 club goals between the same 19 years for which Lampard has played. And mind you, he traversed multiple leagues, Serie A inclusive. Does that shut you up? And did I see you write that Drogba is from CIV and Henry from France. That holds no water, bro. George Weah was World's best player, European best player, and African best player in the same year. Interestingly, he never played at the world cup. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

webincomeplus: Bro don't bother yourself, most people here are just dumb as hell just because of this their fanatic problem. To me this post is useless. I'm a fan of no club, coach or player. Drogba can never I mean never be compared to Henry, he should have stayed in Shanghai Shenhua FC or Galatasaray S.K and win cups for them. Name which player on earth that has been given much accolades in different leagues like Henry in this World even Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, and Maradonna, Zidane are limited to 1-3 leagues or clubs and never achieved such glories. 1 Like 1 Share |

I will say it again..... One chance in a cup final who will score? Drogba or Henry? (knowing that Henry missed 3 chances in the 2006 champions league final against Barcelona which would have landed Arsenal the European Cup) Drogba scored in the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 FA Cup finals, 2005, 2007, 2008 League cup finals, 2012 CL final Arsenal FA 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 (BLANK) Because Henry was nominated for the Ballon D'or means nothing, Will you say Henry and Battistuta are in the same class? but the great Argentine was nominated for nothing.....
