Click through the gallery below to check out Who Ate All the Pies’ list of The 10 greatest players of the last decade. Once you’ve done that, I’d love to hear your Top 10s.
3. THIERRY HENRY - Forget the handball nonsense for a second and focus on the Thierry Henry who shone for Arsenal for the majority of the last decade, skating past defenders at will and scoring wonder goals for fun.

So, no English players in there, though in any list of honourable mentions I would find room for Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
Anyway, agree/disagree with my choices?
PS. This list was partly inspired by the Guardian’s current Joy of Six on the same subject. I say partly, as I had planned something similar weeks ago, but forgot about it.
