Give it a couple of years and Kane will be right up there with the worlds best.

News of the Del Piero vote has just reached Paris.

Zak: The best STRIKER has to be Lewa imo, I don’t see Ronaldo as a striker really even though that’s where he’s playing atm.
Mark B: Hardly a shock, Shearer was at his very best in the 90s, in the 2000s he was decent but nowhere near his best.
That's left us with this mouth-watering lot...

Best striker has to be Cristiano Ronaldo 5 time Ballon dor and has won two trophies in 4 years for the Portuguese national team

Shearer was right to be worried! He's been edged by the cult of Zlatan.
How about that scoring from Alessandro del Piero again! He's seen off Gareth Bale and Kylian Mbappe in a surprising turn of form.

Match 2: David Villa v Diego Costa – Villa 83%
Match 3: Edin Dzeko v Thierry Henry – Henry 97%

*Head in hands* I'll show myself (and my nominations for Batistuta, Drogba and Suarez) out, sorry and thanks!

Easily done Benjy. Great strikers mind.
Thierry Henry was so, so good, it has to be said. Other-worldly talent.

This is easy, the others couldn't get close to Henry inside a phone box! Ronaldo played most of his career on the wing- great goalscorer no doubt. Just watch some Thierry, nuff said

Image source, PA MediaShearer an absolute beast of a striker, playing in average teams, hard as nails, selfish , so regionally proud he destroyed his career, exactly what we worship in a Newcastle no 9.

It most certainly is tough. There are no bad players on the list.

Raymond: Now this is tough. Great strikers everywhere. My heart felt apologies to ones who miss out! :(

Olapopopo: Some of these are no brainers. Henry is a class above Dzeko. How does one choose between Benzema and Van Persie though?
Well, I've seen the results. You'll have them at 13:30 - as with any tournament the quarter-finals are going to be must-watch affairs...

Mario Gomez unlucky not to be shortlisted, scored a lot of goals for club and country over a number of years
