An uncertain and an unsettled Thierry Henry was brought to Highbury in 1999 by Arsene Wenger from Juventus for a fee of around 11 million pounds getting back to his mentor in Arsene Wenger. He was actaully a replacement for Nicolas Anelka (can you believe that ). He had a decent start to his football in england. He had already won the world cup with france and began finding his feet here in the EPL as well. Scoring goals at a rampant pace.

| Thierry Henry |
He was moulded into one of the most prolific strikers in the game. His style of playing the game would mean just taking the game onto the opposition with his absolute ruthless pace. He could just rip open any defence with his pace, ball control and amazing trickery. He was never shy of showing off his tricks that he has been practicing on the field during a match. He would have the audacity to try goals from absolutely no where in the pitch and he would not miss by much. He would normally run at defenders on the left flank and cut in and score with his curlers on the far post beating the keeper and also provide loads of assists.
Wenger once went on to even say that " Henry could take the ball in the middle of the park and score a goal that no one else in the world could score." Henry lived upto his billing by scoring many great goals.
The best part of Henry's career at Arsenal FC is his link up play with all the players he has played with from Dennis Bergkamp to Van Persie. He was a team player completely unselfish and awesomely creative, making opportunities for goals out of just nothing at all.
He had eight unforgettable years at Arsenal turning into a goal scoring machine and driving arsenal forward scoring just 226 goals for the club in all appearances becoming the highest goal scorer for the club and is the third highest goal scorer in EPL. He won loads of awards and trophies at Arsenal and even lead them to the Finals of the UEFA Champions League Finals in 2006 and won The FA Cup and the Community Shield and the Premier league while at Arsenal.
Though he moved on to play for Barcelona in Spain and now to play for the New York Red Bulls in the US, he still feels his heart beats for the Gunners, I'd say Henry my heart and the hearts of every Gunner always beats for you.
Whatever he did, no matter how he did, he just simply won the hearts of every single Gunner on this Planet with all the astonishing moments that he produced on the field, making every Gunner on this planet very proud. Easily one of the best players to have played in the premier league and for Arsenal FC.
Henry is my God at Arsenal FC.
Thierry Henry your presence is sorely missed.
