Skill wise I'd say Henry wins hands down, but Drogba offsets a lot with pure power.

If I had to chose one, I'd go with Henry.

Yes,but you cant take into account the "international stats",because Henry played for a top international team(France),whereas Drogba played for an international pub team|(Ivory Coast).
The other thing you have to remember is that Henry played under 1 manager at Arsenal,whereas Drogba,has won trophies for at least 5 different managers.!
On the skill side Drogba,can shoot and pass with both feet(Henry could only use his right foot)and Drogba was far better at heading the ball,compared to Henry.!

PL Games (Goals)

Henry 254 (174)
Drogba 226 (100)

Drogba might be better with his weak foot, but still Henry is the far better passer. Drogba is better when it comes to headers, no doubt.

Not to mention he scored to most brilliant goal in PL history against United. This is pure quality:

International games(goals)

Henry 123(51)
Drogba 84(54)

Drogbas international goal scoring ratio is miles better than Henrys.!(Even Dimatar Berbatovs goals scoring record is miles better than Henrys(48 in 74 games).

This goal by Henry was fantastic though,probably the best ever in the English premiership history.!(although some of Matt le Tissiers goals would be up there also).!

175 goals...259 appearances....remember he came back this year.....again alan shearer scored alot of goals too....that doesn't mean you get a statue....the impact drogba made with chelsea when it comes to winning titles....10 in total in 8 years is just remarkable...including scoring in everyone of the major finals compare to henry winning 5 titles in 9 years at arsenal

Henry was at Arsenal for 8 years. I still maintain that Bergkamp is the best player, in terms of outright ability, the Premier League has had but Henry isn't too far behind. Drogba is a beast of a player, at times unplayable, he wasn't as prolific as Henry, only scoring over 20 in 2 seasons, but turned up when it matters. Henry was the better player imo.
