Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has rated Thierry Henry as his most formidable opponent.

The Daily Mail held a special members event in London on Tuesday which prompted the following question to the former Reds defender: 'Who was the most difficult striker you played against?'

Carragher said: "The best centre forward I played against was Thierry Henry.

"I think he has been the best player to ever play in the Premier League.

"The Invincibles team were the best team I ever played against. He was the best player in Europe at that stage along with Ronaldinho, Kaka and Rivaldo. He was definitely in that group of players."
