 5. Thierry Henry

One of the greatest players to ever grace Major League Soccer pitches. Henry wasn’t just a great player on the field, but off the field as well. He was marketed great, and lured some great talent as he helped grow the game in North America.

After a legendary career with Arsenal and Barcelona, Henry played four full seasons for the Red Bulls and finished with 52 goals and 49 assists in 135 matches including playoffs.  He was twice named a best XI selection.
