A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet asking them who was the best opposition player they have ever seen at Elland Road.
There were a lot of responses with a variety of players suggested, but it seems that one man, in particular, stands out.
Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal star who scored 176 Premier League goals, is the man that these Leeds fans thought was the best opposition player they have seen.

I too was there that day, West Stand, and I have to say Henry was just another level.

Thierry Henry. Almost wanted to applaud him.

Henry. Destroyed us. Although the best team by far was Real Madrid Zidane, Carlos, Figo et al. Sublime.

What do we think?
It is no wonder that these Leeds fans respect Henry so much because in the 11 games he played against them, he scored 12 goals.
Is Henry the best player you have seen play against Leeds?
Yes
No
Even when he returned to the club after a spell abroad, he scored on his second debut against the Whites in the FA Cup.
Judging by the responses to this tweet, many Leeds fans seem to begrudgingly respect Henry.
The Frenchman did win seven trophies while he was with the Gunners, so we feel that respect is deserved.
