Man, you know something is fricked up when the die-hard Liverpool fan is defending a Manc.

Asking whether Giggs was ever the best player on his team is a mind-numbing question. Pointless, really. Consider the players he has played with: Schmeichel, Keane, Neville, Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Cantona, Ferdinand, Vidic. The list goes on and on.

Similarly, Henry can be faced with a similar dilemma. The Bergkamp vs Henry debate has long existed. Who really was the "greatest"? Many claim Henry was at his best playing alongside Bergkamp, and when he wasn't, he was a slightly different player. Henry was the better scorer, Bergkamp was the better player IMO.

At the end of the day, I'll give my vote to Giggs. Nobody can dream of matching his career. He is, after all, the greatest winger to ever play in the PL.

Hmm. Again, it depends on the definition of best player.

You'll never touch Giggs's accolades, but I think Henry had more individual talent.

Your answer to this question depends on your definition of best player, really. That's why I flip between Henry and Giggs.

He may have had the longest most successful career but there is no way he was/is the best player.

He's like the Derek Jeter of soccer, great locker room guy, amazing consistency, very very good player on the best/most popular team, won a ton of titles but never really the star.
