Stan Collymore reckons comparisons between Olivier Giroud and Thierry Henry are futile after the former broke the latter’s goalscoring record for France.
But still there’s a massive amount of admiration from the former Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and England star turned Mirror Sport expert for what Giroud has done. And a huge appreciation that a proper, old-school centre-forward is front and centre of a record-breaking chat rather than Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, glorified wingers who know how to score goals — albeit plenty of them.
Collymore said: “Giroud’s achievement in breaking Henry’s goalscoring record for France is a great one. But what people do is compare the players and it’s pointless because they are incomparable.
