His goals per game ratio is also better than Shearer's.
Henry was also miles better as a player overall, far more facets to his game.
The guy has the PL record for assists in a season and he's a striker ffs.
Think about that, Hazard, Cesc, Scholes, Ozil, KDB, Silva - all these greats midfielders yet none of them have been able to match Henry's assist tally.
As a striker or a complete player, however you want to dice it it's Henry > Shearer.
In the season when Henry got the Prem assist record, he also scored more premier league goals than Shearer, and played in the CL as well.
