Thierry Henry is one of the greatest strikers the game has ever seen. Known for his blistering pace, elegant finishing and intelligence on the pitch, he became a legend for both Arsenal and the French national team. From the streets of Les Ulis to World Cup and Premier League glory, Henry’s career is the story of a player who combined style with ruthless efficiency.

EARLY YEARS AND MONACO BREAKTHROUGH
Born in 1977 in Les Ulis, France, Henry joined Monaco’s academy as a teenager. Under coach Arsène Wenger, he made his professional debut in 1994. His speed and technique quickly stood out, and by 1997 he was part of France’s squad for the World Cup. A move to Juventus in 1999 didn’t suit his style, but it set the stage for a career-defining transfer.

ARSENAL – THE INVINCIBLE ERA
In 1999, Henry reunited with Wenger at Arsenal. Converted from a winger to a central striker, he flourished in North London. Wearing the famous No. 14 shirt, Henry became Arsenal’s all-time top scorer with 228 goals. He led the team to two Premier League titles and two FA Cups, including the unforgettable 2003/04 season when Arsenal went unbeaten – the Invincibles. His trademark finishes, cutting in from the left and curling into the far corner, became his signature.

INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS WITH FRANCE
Henry played a crucial role in France’s golden generation. In 1998, he was part of the squad that won the World Cup on home soil. Two years later, he helped France lift Euro 2000, forming a deadly attack alongside Zinedine Zidane and David Trezeguet. By the time he retired, Henry had scored 51 goals for France, making him their all-time leading scorer until Olivier Giroud surpassed him in 2022.
