Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has said that if he was forced to choose between Thierry Henry and Tottenham striker Harry Kane, he would pick the Arsenal legend.
The former Manchester United defender was answering questions on Twitter, and he gave a succinct response when asked for his preference:

Neville played against Henry multiple times and he would have appreciated the quality the Frenchman brought to the Gunners.
Unlike Kane, the Arsenal icon was not simply a goalscorer, but someone who could turn a game on his head with a piece of individual brilliance.
There are not many players over the last 30 years who have made such an indelible mark on the English game and, as well as winning multiple titles during his time at the London club, his goals and overall contributions will go down in club folklore.
To be honest, it would have been a shock if Neville had actually picked Kane ahead of Henry.
