Graceful yet powerful. Predictable yet unstoppable. Thierry Henry was an artist of a striker. He scored goals that should be framed and hung in a gallery. He was extraordinary. But he wasn’t always.
This is the story of Thierry Henry’s rise, from the housing projects of Paris, to the glittering lights of Highbury, via left wing-back in Italy.
Written by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Henry Cooke.

Not sure how this didn't get a mention: Henry picking up the ball on the half turn in the centre circle before swivelling, beating 4 players and slotting past Iker Casillas, scoring the only goal for Arsenal in a 1-0 win against Real Madrid in February 2006. Making them the first English team to secure victory over Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeau. Historic, Iconic, Legendary.

@yassersalem7992 2 года назад

Henry is my favorite player growing up which is odd since I was a Chelsea fan. He looked like he wasn't even trying whenever he would stride and was so clinical in finishing. Unfortunately his decline was in 09/10 season at age 31 where he scored only 4 goals and was given permission by Barcelona to leave for the MLS. I really hoped he would continue to play at the top of European football for 3 or 4 more years but the decline was obvious and seeing it as a 17 yr felt like my hero idol is gone forever 😔

@hoya1178 2 года назад

He was 32--years old during the 2009/2010 season, not 31-years old.

@HenryOrtlip 2 года назад

My father wore 14 back in the early 80’s because of a certain Dutch legend who wore 14 😉 I grew up in the early 2000’s wearing 14 and ironically having the name Henry. It was a funny situation, and I naturally liked Henry at that time. He was a fantastic player… but truly with every year that goes by his legend only increases. His expressions, goal celebrations, style, and wit- he was the man. Like Tom cruise in an F-14…. Thierry had balls to be inventive and to take a game over. His mind was that of an artist, he would have been great at whatever he did- but thank God his passion was football. He has to be my favorite player all time. Anytime I see some of his top highlights it still puts a smile on my face grinning from ear to ear.

@andrewgilbertson595 2 года назад

To focus on his goalscoring almost does him and his talents a disservice; he was so much more 🤩

@Moosterton 2 года назад

Should've said more about his France career! He was fantastic in Euro 2000, and very good in the 06 world cup too. Not to mention the confederations cup in 03. All time top scorer and 5 time French player of the year (more than anyone else) was a great achievement considering the talent that has played for France.

@booradley6832 7 месяцев назад

A lot of people like to sidestep that due to the handball drama being either against the tone of the video or requiring more time to do justice than they have. But yeah he was great with France. I became a fan of France in 2006 just because I like nation's history and needed a team for the world cup. What a pick that ended up being.

@MeidoVegeta 2 года назад

Still the best player to grace the English division football. A bit of Zidane elegance mixed with R9 forward ability. Thierry is class.

Great video with some new details for me. Many freedom of contract signings made in those early post-Bosman years ended up in messy disputes, most famously Figo. I didn't know Henry was one of them. Then the loathsome Moggi trying to send Henry to Udinese at one point is hilarious.

@elookay-emaviwe7153 2 года назад

I do find the comparisons with Kylian Mbappe curious. On paper their achievements by the age of 23 are pretty similar, however, the type of goals scored by Henry are significantly more varied and spectacular. And whilst they’re comparable re technical ability and intelligence, as of yet Mbappe hasn’t demonstrated the same level of playmaking creativity or shear physicality to dominate defenders (outside of his speed).

@nmarcus7233 2 года назад

100% agreed. Kylian is somewhere between R9 and Henry. His game is more of a shark attack on goal scoring similar to R9 than Henry’s technical playmaking. Henry was a winger at heart and a striker by trade. Kylian is also not as strong as R9 or Henry so I seem him uniquely like an arrow.

And I remember getting up early to watch the Premier League when it was on, and while there were a lot of great players I liked, the only one that made me go "WOW" was Henry. He's still probably my favorite player, because while I may have ended up supporting Fulham, Henry turned me from someone who was curious about the sport into a dedicated fan. .....well, that and Championship Manager.
