Listed: Top 20 Remarkable Premier League Forwards of All Time
Top 20 Premier League Strikers of All Time Unveiled
In a comprehensive ranking compiled by FourFourTwo and GiveMeSport, the greatest strikers ever to grace the Premier League have been revealed. The list, which spans three decades of football, features legendary goal scorers who have left an indelible mark on the league with their scoring records, impact, and legacy.
At the summit of the list, we find Alan Shearer, the all-time top scorer with an impressive 260 Premier League goals. Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba follow closely, renowned for their blend of skill and match-winning goals. Sergio Agüero ranks among the most efficient and successful forwards of the league era, while Jamie Vardy represents a modern-day fox in the box with remarkable impact and longevity.
Robin van Persie, when at his peak, was in a class of his own in the Premier League. He won a Premier League title after his move to Manchester United and was instrumental in their success. Fernando Torres was a joy to watch during his time at Liverpool, with his pace, ability to glide into the box, and clinical finishing. He deservedly held the all-time Arsenal goalscoring record until it was surpassed by Thierry Henry.
Michael Owen, a two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner and the Ballon d'Or winner in 2001, is ranked 17th on the list. Ruud van Nistelrooy played for Manchester United for five lethal seasons, becoming the best poacher in the Premier League during that time. Gianfranco Zola, known for his close control, speed of thought, and improvisational ability, is ranked 18th on the list.
Robbie Fowler was a natural goalscorer, more clinical than his contemporaries. Had it not been for his injury woes, he could have shattered all the Premier League goalscoring records. Marcus Bent and Emmanuel Adebayor complete the top 20, with their contributions to their respective clubs earning them a place on this prestigious list.
Notably, no other player on the list has won the Ballon d'Or. The Premier League, which has existed for 32 seasons, has seen these 20 strikers rise to the top, each leaving a lasting impact on the beautiful game in England.
