Sky are showing a selection of his premier league goals. I know he victimised us something chronic, but Ye gods, what a player. Absolutely brilliant to watch - and I can only think of Le Tissier rivalling him for cracking goals.
Think he has the best goal to game ratio of any Prem striker, with only Van Nistelrooy and Suarez running him close. Roughly 2 goals every 3 games. Sheer quality.
Dived for a penalty when we smashed them at Highbury. Cheated Ireland out of the World Cup.
Great player but no class.
Yeah he's the only player ever to have dived, deliberately hand balled, falsely claimed for a throw or corner, moved a dead ball forward or moved forward in a wall when the ref wasn't looking etc. Thierry Henry, football's one and only cheat, ever.
The most devastating player in Premier League history during his prime. One of the few players who was actually unplayable. There was nothing you could do to defend against him (or that side) most of the time.
Great player and if you watch MLS he's still head and shoulders above everyone else in that league, shame he didn't stay in Europe longer. I enjoy hearing his punditry far more than most of the other jokers on TV too.
Some of the comments here are laughable, no worse than half of our players in terms of diving/cheating/arseholeness
Absolutely great player
I don't think I ever saw him take one that was within the corner-arc. Can't believe how he consistently got away with it. Also amazed me that he felt the need to do it, was it really that much of an advantage?

Totally different type of forward, but for me he's one of those like Shearer that you'd love to have on your side but hate to have against you. Still, as others have said it's not as if all Charlton players have been whiter than white.
caught a bit of the programme on Sky the other day - just an amazing player. Not only quick but could finish too. I think he holds the Prem record for the number of hat tricks.
When he's not pretending to be worried about his close buddy Mwamba.
The guy is a total knob.
Strange that you'd hold it against the bloke for flying from the US to the UK just to visit Muamba and wish him well.
The whole thing was a publicity stunt. He was here to visit his estranged wife and daughter - saw a bandwagon and got on it !
No sign of him at the Mwamba wedding.
Maybe he wasn't invited? They weren't exactly close. My understanding of it is that Muamba looked up to Henry when he (Muamba) was in the Arsenal academy. Pretty sad of you to reprimand the bloke for paying him a visit regardless of why he might have been here. But maybe you just look for the worst in people.
As Deano described Roy Keane...a world class player and an economy class person!
I think that pretty much sums the man up.
There's no doubt he was a wonderful player in his prime.
I remember one of my last trips to Highbury, he scored an absolutely sensational goal (although it didnt help that everyone backed off of him) but then ran another 80 yards on his celebratory run, as shown here...
Yeah, where did he run? He ran to celebrate in front of the Spurs fans.
That one goal sums him up. The man has no class whatsoever.
Yeah, anyone with a dislike for Spurs will find that hilarious of course but no yellow card, no FA charge for bringing the game into disrepute, no nothing. Then compare that to what Adebayor done against Arsenal for Man City and its clearly one rule for one, one rule for everyone else.
Was going to say that Johnboy, yet when Adebeyor done it he was public enemy number one!!!!!! Could be wrong but didn't he allegedy cheat on his Mrs to?? When Ashley Cole done it..................

Brown, Tiler, Kochesky, Mills, youds, Red Fearn, Powell
We had to have a bit of bollox about us then!! ,
No sign of him at the Mwamba wedding.
Worth the admission on his own on so many occasions.
When we used to lose to Henry i never felt angry about it.
Sometimes you just have to appreciate genius. In my opinion Thierry Henry was a genius and the best player i have seen live.
After a few years of watching the likes of bobby grant and david nugent it reminds me how lucky we were to have them years in the premier league.
So he was already in the UK and decided to go visit a fellow player in hospital (was they at Arsenal together?)
The media jumped on it and that's somehow Thierry Henry's fault????

We'd all love to.
He's only human.
