Both were fantastic players. At the peak of their powers would play in any team in the PL. So I don’t think you can say one is a better player?
As an all round footballer (which is what the original debate stemmed from), Bergkamp is far superior to Shearer/Henry.
Who is the better goalscorer (changing the goal posts), well that is clearly Shearer/Henry.
In answer to Eames question, Bergkamp for me was the better footballer.
I think people are getting mixed up between an allround footballer and a goalscorer.
Figo, Zidane, Nedved, Scholes etc. all superb footballers.
Ronaldo (the proper one), Fowler, Shearer, Baggio etc. all superb goalscorers.
I agreed with you right up to Baggio!. Superb footballer
For your education:
a real hero for me.
He liked the old curler into the far top corner didnt he!
