As a Juventus fan who attended games in Turin in the late 90s, this is the footballer that got away. Juv e has a huge list of elite players in their history...CR7, Zidane, Del Piero, Carnavaro, Buffon, Platini, etc. Had Henry stayed he would probably be amongst them.
Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️
My best player ever. Complete player. Can literally win a game on his own. Wish he was young again to play for Arsenal. Imagine him now in the current Arsenal. Words can’t describe this God of football. 💯
God i miss those games, i talking real tension!, they were the best, you knew it was war.. we were so lucky to have experienced those times... so many monster players of that generation.. just godly
Ya the games were fantastic. I like the EPL now but I miss that time as there was an actual bite to rivalries now a big derby is more or less the same as any other league game. @@GizziMoD
Henry was so fluid , fast , clever - just totally awe inspiring. For me he’s in the top list of greatest players- maradona , Messi , pele , Ronaldo , Ronaldinho , Bergkamp , Gerrard , Lampard - all of them would have instant respect for Henry - says it all . As a lfc fan I was truly jealous of Arsenal during the time he played there . The unbeaten season in the PL is still a hugely underrated achievement.
This is great. I finally understand his career trajectory. He was my childhood. He could have always done better, but his value system was there, so respect. Nothing more. Legend for France and PL
I think he was as good as he needed to be. Obviously CR7 and Messi have changed the requirements of an effective striker. But Henry posted some crazy goal and assist numbers for his time. And ultimately, he got the trophies to go with his ability.
He really has great information about football in general. I really wonder how good Henry can be as a manager. He has great vision about the game. I hope he gets to become a manager someday
No one puts him in the top 3 players in history but for me he his. He won EVERYTHING and went a season unbeaten in the hardest league in the world. We were lucky to see him play.
He’s not even in the top 10. There are a LOT of players historically. Here are some players I put above him (and above CR7 too) - Romario - Zico - Van Basten - Maradona - R9 - Cruyff (I have Pele and Messi as top two) So that’s already a top 8. I also like Michael Laudrup. Then there is Di Stefano And maybe have to put cr7 at number 11 due to his stats alone.
@@joejo4549 clearly? I rank Romario above, Maradona above, Zico above, Van Basten above… R9 above. Messi above, Pele above. So he’s at best number 8 for me. I usually have him at about number 11. I think I have Michael Laudrup, Di Stefano and Cruyff in my top 10 too. So cr7 11th or lower for me.. To me this is clear. I’d love to sit with you and analyse video footage.
Thanks for the memories Thierry. Some of the best moments in sports. Invincibles live forever in the hearts and minds of all Arsenal fans as well as the record books ❤️GUNNERS 4 LIFE
he can proudly say he contributed to arsenal with emirates stadium of today. the success arsene had with the team and the way he handled the financial part of his recruitment contributed to the club being able to be where it is today. massive both arsene and henry deserved their statues at the emirates.
@@mahamedaden4919people are allowed to think that Zidane overall ranks higher… and bringing up goals scored as if their ranking depends only on that is not honest.
He will always be the King. It's fortunate to have witnessed him and the Arsenal team of early 2000 which made football an art, and he is correct in a way that they didn't win that many titles. Don't see the magic number of 20 Goals + 20 assists in a season that can be replicated by any player.
Football was too easy for Henry, he doesn’t know how special he was, majority of strikers definitely have to be in the box, Henry can run past everyone, strike it from distance or score freekicks, not many strikers can do anything they want
The man that made me Love Arsenal with the Backheel Goal vs Charlton.....I just Asked My Uncle ,& he told me THIERRY HENRY & from that day to date......+254🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
The greatest ever Premier League player by a mile - coming from a Chelsea fan since 1995. He's right, his assists are sooooo underrated. He's the ONE player I genuinely feared, and I've watched Chelsea face Messi and C.Ronaldo, but Henry was the only one I feared.
Ze MAN KING LEGEND Shearer might of scored the MOST premier league goals, but this is the TRUE, ultimate Striker/forward in the prem without debate/opinion argument lol
As much as I love Henry, it really upsets me that he has not been more involved with the new Arsenal squad…… at the very least, he could talk about them more and help build their confidence!
No he really can’t , they have the project and he is not part of that however much we as fans would like it. We would all like to see him back and managing Arsenal but I don’t see that happening unfortunately. The suits at Arsenal are not amenable to that
Zinchenko seems to think Jesus should play higher up the pitch but I'm convinced he's doing the right thing after watching this interview. Henry is right you don't have to be in the box to score goals, it's about team goals.
depending on your profile of player you do,jesus is not henry he's not going to pick up the ball and start jinking pass players regularly,he needs to stay high and stretch the defence so that the midfielders have more room
@@shesbaldbutiwould Jesus's dribbling is superb he can easily take on 2-3 players but you just don't get that space like Henry could run into these days against teams defending in low blocks. So Jesus ends up dropping back to help create something.
@@Magboy1010 hes not going dribble pass 2-3 players regularly,also a lot of teams play high lines to press so he's not playing against low blocks all the time,we need a goalscorer not a creator i dont know why we bought him.he's never wanted to be a striker
@@shesbaldbutiwould maybe but I don't think goals was our problem last season. In fact it was our highest on record. But it would of been interesting to see someone like Vlahovic in that position for us.
@@Magboy1010 we had goals coming from wide and midfield thats why,if we had a striker who could get 15-20 league goals on top of that,how closer to the title do you think we get? not having vlahovic tbh wouldnt even want that profile of striker but we definitely need a prolific forward cant bet on saka martinelli and odegaard scoring at their current rate.
Wenger for all his impressive exploits in attack never really learned how to win games ugly and that's why Arsenal couldn't win a champions league. If Arsenal had overcome Chelsea in 2004 I have no doubt they would have beaten Monaco & Porto to win the trophy.
As an irishman its hard to praise Henry because of the "incident" but my god what a great, classly, cool player and man he is. Dude is the definition cool.
A literal cheat code, back in the day. Didnt seem fair on the opponents looking back. Faster, stronger, would drop off on the left hand side to pick up the ball. Defenders couldnt go with him as they would be out of position. Midfielders couldnt go over to cover as they left gaps in the centre of the park for Bergkamp to exploit. Right back ended up having to face Pires and Thierry on their own. Could dribble past defenders like they were statues, could score from anywhere. Completely broke the mould for a striker. Sensational. Unplayable. On countless occasions ❤❤❤
Finish like R9: ✔ Dribble like messi: ✔ Shoot like Ronaldo: ✔ Skills like Ronaldinho: ✔ Vision like Xavi: ✔ Free kick like Pirlo: ✔ Pass like Zidane: ✔ Speed like Bale:✔ He's got it all, that's why we love him
So the guy played 723 professional games, combined clubs & country.. that is 65,070 minutes(you can see it at 65,000 if we include his substitutions..!) So 65,000 minutes of play and you single out 3 seconds and judge him on that..! Wow what a perfectionist/ paragon you must be..!
When did Ireland play in the PL as I fail to remember? Also, my memory fails me to who comes even close to his PL greatness. Therefore please assist me with that regard.
He was working in Arsenal with Strikers & at the same Time doing His Punditry Job ,so Wenger gave him altima terms To decide Which Job to take Remain As a Coach in Arsenal full time or Punditry...& He chose Punditry Than Arsenal Full time....
"I don't have to score, the team has to score, WE have to score" That's why he is great
Champion's League final what a heartbreak that was, it still hurts
That red card set our club back at least 5-6 years.
Same here. Still gut wrenching
If Lehmann hadn't been sent off, Arsenal would have won. Sure, they'd have been 1-0 down, but they'd still have had 11v11.
Barcelona Bribe the refree otherwise that champion would be our name on it😢!
if Arsenal won that year, Henry for sure would have won the Ballon D'or guaranteed
As a Juventus fan who attended games in Turin in the late 90s, this is the footballer that got away. Juv e has a huge list of elite players in their history...CR7, Zidane, Del Piero, Carnavaro, Buffon, Platini, etc.
Had Henry stayed he would probably be amongst them.
Thierry, Bergkamp and Wenger introduced me to the PL. I've been a supporter ever since. 20 years this season. COYG!🏆
Proves how trash Arsenal are couldn't win the UCL even with GOATs like Henry and Bergkamp
Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️
He didn't cause Arsenal got knocked out of the UCL early, and he never really performed consistently in that comp.
The best and fastest live player I ever saw, sheer class
He played beautiful football, to see him run was to see poetry in motion. He is one of the best players the premier league has seen
My best player ever. Complete player. Can literally win a game on his own. Wish he was young again to play for Arsenal. Imagine him now in the current Arsenal. Words can’t describe this God of football. 💯

Henry was practically a "cheat code" back then. There was nothing defenders could do about it 😂
You are the reason I support Arsenal my King
As a United fan, facing that Arsenal team back in the day sacred me to death. One of the greatest forwards to ever play imo.
Same. Im a Liverpool fan and I honestly dreaded everytime we played him
100%

So that’s already a top 8.
I also like Michael Laudrup.

And maybe have to put cr7 at number 11 due to his stats alone.
1. Brazilian Ronaldo
2. Thierry Henry
3. Zinedine Zidane
@@carter3369 Henry and Zidane not even in the top 10 when you go ALL TIME.
For example Zico was better than both.
@@patinho5589 cr7 is clearly deserving of top 5 in all lists and probably deserves second, he's weirdly underrated at times because Messi
@@joejo4549 clearly?

Absolutely criminal he never won a Ballon Dor
That man WAS Arsenal during his time. The club would not be what it is today, if they did not sign him.
The best player ever to play in the prem fact
If being very critical, he and Arsenal should have won the Champions League during the invincibles season given the fantastic form the team was in.
