I would have voted Romario (he scored goals by day and went clubbing by night; that's pretty pure. ), so I picked other.

I also quibble about including Baggio and Van Basten, both of whom did so much more than just score.

I voted for Baggio, but in the future, I think Henry will be up there.

I think Henry at least deserves a spot in this poll. He's won a World Cup, Premiership title, he's a great striker.

Van Basten, he'd score blindfolded.

Van Basten or Baggio.
Definitly Van Basten if his career didn't end so early.

What do you mean by pure?

Natural goalscorer or all-round game?

I think Bergkamps deserves to be up there..

I wouldn't have put Baggio down as a 'pure' striker.


What about Papin? He had some class in hia boots.

How did Shevchenko get on that list??? I know he is a very good striker, but one of the best since the 80's??? I don't think he rates in my top 5 current strikers anyway.
