Henry’s 14 greatest moments in an Arsenal shirt
Thierry Henry - Arsenal's record goal scorer
On behalf of Arsenal-Mania, happy birthday to king Thierry Henry! Arsenal’s greatest ever player turns 38 today, and no amount of birthday cake can sufficiently thank him for the job he’s done for the club. The ultimate goal machine he was, and how me sorely miss his presence. Going over yet again his long list of accomplishments and accolades would be tedious and oh so predictable, so we figured it would be much more fun to re live some of his greatest moments.
The man scored 228 goals for the club, and we would be here all day if we were to re visit all of them. Seeing as how he pioneered the number 14 shirt at Arsenal, we figured that would be a good number to stop at. Have at a look at 14 of the greatest moment from Arsenal’s great number 14.
In no specific order of course, because no one should have to decide between such masterclasses.

The day Ronaldo met his successor to the thrown.

In the odd chance you weren’t aware or have been living under a rock, the celebration for this legendary solo effort is what inspired Henry’s statue in front of the Emirates.

Three for one special. What a moment for Henry and Arsenal.

The commentary, just like the goal, never gets old. “Henry…What a goal!!”

Is that enough? Henry scores a free kick but is judged to have taken it too quickly by referee Graham Poll. He steps up and buries it again, turning to the ref and asking “is that enough?” Legend.

What defence?
vs Man City 2004
Yep
vs West Ham 2002
Don’t get too close
vs Leeds 2012
Not as flashy as the rest, but always gets a place for the sentiment alone. Joined the club for a second spell on loan and still produced the goods after all those years. You can see what it meant to him as well.
