Henry is pretty much a striker. Arguably the greatest Euro one as well I'd say. If you count Ronaldo it's him obviously.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Harsh on RVN to go up against Ronaldo 
Huntelaar and Lukaku but no Drogba. This is a shambles
Yeah, the 2 finalists aren't even strikers. Derp

I don't know what is the true definition of striker anymore.
Why not just change the name to "best forward"

Too loose a definition of striker to make this one fun. A bit of a pointless task.
So Ronaldo wins with a, lets be honest, laughable 54%. How can 46% seriously think Henry was better than him.

Neither is Ronaldo
Some flavour of the month going on, Mbappe over Kane.
Has to be Ronaldo followed by Henry for me. Although Ronaldo as a striker is a stretch.

Ronaldo as a striker is a slight stretch but he’s better than all of the other players in the list and scored more goals than all of them put together probably so he still wins
so he still winsWasn't really a contest, was it?
Cristiano
Just realised they had Bale in there
I mean, come on.
I mean, come on.
How about him winning the league with Monaco for the first time in a long time and reaching the semi-final of the CL as the highest scorer on the team at 18? World cup the next year being the best young player. He's already a better player than Kane (who's no slouch himself), and his numbers speak for themselves in Europe where PSG is always shaky and he's not taking penalties unlike Kane. You can only beat what's in front of you, but if anybody thinks Mbappe will get exposed in the premier league or la liga is just being disingenuous. He's a top player wherever he goes, and with more responsibilities will most likely maintain or even exceed his tallies which are pretty much keeping pace with the Lewandowski, Messi, and Ronaldo's of the world.
I am unsure on which tectonic plate Madeira is located, but I know that it is part of Portugal, which is... [checks globe] part of Europe.
Its as if Portugal didn't win the European Championship...The poll between Ronaldo & Henry was surprisingly close when Henry probably wasn’t even half the player he was.
It’s unfair to put Ronaldo or Messi in a contest with any other modern player unless they’re gonna be competing with each other, otherwise it will always be a monumental mismatch.

For now, but I suspect there will be more players coming up that put up similar numbers as CR7 and Messi, Mbappe is already well on his way, Haaland too. Now that there's a whole generation that's grown up to see it's possible, it will happen again for sure before the 21st century is over.
Alarming that 46% voted for Henry.
Ronaldo is on a different level.

None of Ronaldo, Mbappe, Del Piero, Totti or Bale are strikers, especially not Bale.
I am honestly shocked that Ronaldo vs Henry was close yet Henry vs Del Piero was so lopsided. I understand the PL bias, but still, I would expect the latter to be closer than the former.
This didn't even need to be made a poll. Was never a debate.
