Thierry Henry is a French footballer who plays for The New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer in USA. Henry came up through the ranks at Monaco, while Arsene Wenger was the coach there. After a brief stint at Italian side Juventus in 1999 he joined up again with Arsene Wenger, this time at English side Arsenal. At Arsenal Wenger turned him from a winger into a striker. This move saw Henry blossom into a world-class player and he played a huge part in Arsenal’s success the next 8 years. He was the top goal-scorer in the Premier League for a record four seasons (2002, 2004, 2005, 2006). In 2005 he became Arsenal’s all-time topscorer. A feat which he also has managed for the French national team.
At the conclusion of the 2006/07 season, in which Henry had been troubled by injuries, he made a surprise move to Spanish side Barcelona. He enjoyed further success as a top scorer and Champions League winner with Barcelona. After leaving Barcelona he has also announced his retirement from France’s national side.
