Arsenal Legend has his CL medal

Arsenal legend and all time top goal scorer has his CL medal and hopefully one year before the gunners will put their hands on the prestigeous trophy.
Thierry Daniel Henry joined Arsenal in 1999 from Juventus as a pacy winger and was transformed by Wenger into a sublime center forward. He went on to beat Ian Wright goal scoring record for Arsenal which was 186. Henry went on to get 226 goals for the gunners. His elegant style of running and finishing was his trademark as the gunners cruise into perfection when they went an entire season without defeat in the premierleague. Henry was the main hero netting 31goals in the process. His goals at Highbury against Liverpool that year was sublime to say the least. He led the gunners into their first ever CL final in 2006 with exceptionnal winning performances on the road against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, Juventus, Ajax and the likes. Arsenal was defeated in that final in Paris by Henry present partners who will have to thank him for the trophy as the King missed a couple of chances to put the game beyond the catalans. After a 2006/2007 season to forget mainly because of injuries he left the gunners to join Barcelona.
Arsenal supporters will always have a place in their heart for the King of Highbury TH14. Well done vava-voooom!
