Absolute legend.
Absolute legend.
The man left us with a lifetime of memories, audacities, stunts and titles. Im happy to be able to say I say saw in my lifetime;Maradona, Ronaldo (real one), Messi, Ronaldo (irritating but special one) and Thierry Henry play.
Now lets have him back at the club. Bringing Akpom, Aneke and Sanogo along.
End of an era.
He's joining Sky Sports
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Titi.
Genuine (not marketing) legend, footballer from another planet.
Für eure Sicherheit
When he left in 2007 I have to admit from my point of view it was under a cloud, he tried at the time to claim his departure to Barcelona was precipitated by David Dein leaving. I think he could have just admitted he wanted to play for the biggest club in the world and have a chance to win the European Cup (the only trophy he hadnt won as a player) and no one would have begrudged him.
However that's long since forgotten, he is arguably the greatest player to have ever worn the Arsenal shirt, his pace, his ability to score all kinds of goals....totally unique and irreplaceable.
My favourite goal of his was his curler against Man City in 2004, for most players it would have been a non goal scoring position but unlike the great goal against United you expected him to find the net.
My favourite goal of his which I was there to see was against Liverpool in the FA cup at Anfield where he mugged Jamie Carragher near the corner flag sauntered over to the goal and slotted in

Made the hairs on my arms stand up, amazing and happy times. His mind was as quick as his body.Originally Posted by Letters To Santa
For me, he signed when I was 18, and was really into my football. I was going to see them regular (at Highbury, our true home) and would sit watching soccer saturday all afternoon. when we didnt win, I was so pissed off. I was lucky this period happened to be when we had Henry playing for us. Sadly I dont care quite as much these days, but might just be that Im older now, have a mortgage, wife etc etc and football has just become less of a priority in my life. Still love Arsenal, just not a big a part of me as it once was.
Thanks Henry for some frigging fantastic years, that video brought back happy memories
What makes comparing Henry to other players difficult is that he truly was unique.
He brought things to the game that I'd never seen before or since. You believed he was somehow capable of anything. And oftentimes he was.
On and off the pitch he brought sheer joy.
And he played for us. I still cannot believe how lucky we were.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
