Yes, the first song isn't ideal, I realized that after I put this together - but I still like how the chorus drops with his dribbles/runs. You guys can stop mentioning the music now.
Idk, I thought it was a great choice and went really well with your edits! Great video and thanks for sharing. Love coming back to this video to watch this legend!
Kids, no highlights will ever come close to doing the man justice. As a United fan, I'm happy to admit this man gave us all so much joy. Hated him but absolutely loved to watch him play football. Absolute poetry.
I'm a 50 yo Arsenal fan and was moved to comment and read this and just sat the fck down. You beat me. Pace, control, Jesus H Christo he was the perfect striker. I loved his comment "Pace is nothing without control"
With Thierry it was speed of thought matching speed of action. He was elite level and so much better than the greats of today, with Messi being the only comparable I can think of still playing. Oh and I’m a Utd fan too
Liverpool Fan Here. And as MUCH AS I LOVE and RATE Salah...It is IMPOSSIBLE to look past Thierry and put Salah Above. Even when he gets the numbers. Henry could do EVERYTHING. WITH EASE. Dribble...Run...Free Kicks...Tackle. Best I have EVER WATCHED in the Prem. NO CONTEST.

I remember being in a pub watching Arsenal V Leeds during this time, he scored 4, he was just exploding through waist height tackles, one of the goals he was kicked and he readjusted his feet in midair and chipped the keeper all in one motion. Truly unstoppable in that era.
There has never been a player in PL history that has terrified opposition players more than this guy. Some English fans and pundits proclaim Shearer as the greatest but in truth, Henry was just a monster. Too fast and too skilful for defenders, there are so many stories of players having nightmares before coming up against this man.

1st time seeing him was Champions league I think in 1997 but 1st time noticing him was our 1st World cup game (South Africa) against France where he terrorized our defense the whole night and he did same thing against Saudi Arabia as well, then when he joined Arsenal I was ecstatic and he became our best player ever, we will never have another one like him
I have to agree 100%. 24 to 26 year old Henry was better than Ronaldo's last year in the prem for me. Them two/three years Henry played at Highbury was ridiculous and it was every week that he was embarrassing teams.
Only Ronaldo's last year?? Henry during his prime (2002-2006) was comfortably better than Ronaldo in 2008 when he scored 31 goal in the league. Ronaldo had the goals but Henry's overall impact on the pitch was far bigger. Eveb though most take Ronaldo as a winger and Henry as a 9/striker, Henry never played like a real striker at Arsenal. He was constantly dropping deep, starting attacks, involved in the build up... His creative influence was far bigger and he also had a higher number of assists in the end. Even though Ronaldo was nominally a winger, both of United's strikers at the time, Rooney and Tevez worked much more defensively, while Ronaldo was staying furthest forward while United defended so he could score on the break.
Ronaldo won 3 premier league and won the ballon d'or become second in ballon d'or 2 times plus being 2x times PL player of the season on top of that he preformed in UCL to and won UCL with united unlike Henry.

Question is who would you have above him in that top 10...? I'm willing to bet some of you clowns would have CR7 above him even though Henry's talent and skill outclasses anything CR7 has ever possessed... only argument for Ronaldo will be "wEll He sCoReD mOre gOaLs" 🤣
Never noticed how Maradonna-esc his technique was, I can't think of anyone who could feint at pace and ride a challenge as close to Maradonna as Henry in this 🤩
Pace, ball control and ability to finish from everywhere. His ability to keep the ball close to himself and close enough to his opponent but far away enough to beat them in any number of ways, was unrivalled. Henry's peak was better than anyone else in the Premier League.
These analysts such as G.Neville and others believe Haaland is really at this level is laughable 😂😂😂 Haaland can't even do one of these moves. Henry is and FOREVER will be LIGHTYEARS ahead of Haaland and the rest of the Premier League.

I've been an Arsenal supporter for 35 years, two players stand out in that time. Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. Had Henry played for Utd or Barcelona or Real Madrid from 01 till 04 he would have won back-to-back Ballon d'Or. Anyone who supported any other team during those seasons will likely say Henry is one of the best to ever grace the Premier League.
It's the downfall of football currently. Even the best in the world just don't play like this anymore. They'll beat the records of players like Henry, Ronaldinho, R9, Zidane etc. but it's too much about making tactical plays, set pieces and advancing the ball to allow for the beautiful stuff like you see in this video... (yes I know some players still do this but it's not what it was)
People that speak about modern PL players being up there with him, don't have a clue how good this guy was. Simply the best player to grace the premiership by a mile.
Iam so glad I was able to watch him play in his peak of his powers feel so privileged to be able to watch him every week what a player the best premier league player we have even seen to imagine him in todays game would be so scary
"Thiery Henry " was a very very special talent who for 2 years absolutely bamboozled obliterated and systematically confounded all of the best elite premier league and rest of the worlds best footballers ,world class teams ,world class defenders ,world class goal keepers even world class coaches who every week had a complete nightmare in trying to find the right tactical formula to minimize "XMen mutant member "Thiery Henry "to no avail ? fantastic explosive speed great feet could operate in tight spaces and scores all sorts of out of this world goals and also important assists he runs like a cheetah defenders would have taxis waiting to pick them up on the pitch and drive fast enough to catch him up just to tackle this guy he was that lightening quick ,what a great great player he was and if you have any doubts of this mans greatness then let me point you in the direction of his highlight reels a true inspiration ,great video blessed .
his dribbling is almost as quick as the mighty Messi! It's scary how great Henry was on the pitch! we should all feel blessed to been able to see this highlights of one of the greatest
Henry not winning that champions league final with arsenal in 06 broke my heart man that would of been amazing to witness but we was lucky enough to have such a great player at our beloved arsenal
You can't explain to youngsters today how good he was. It was during a time where football was so different. Defenses were much harder to break down, people scored less and yet his stats still measure up to the best of today. If Henry played today he would have much better stats. Defenders could get away with much more back then, and still he scored for fun.
Across those seasons he scored 71 goals (9 free kicks) and had 43 assists in 106 games. Moreover, the quality of his play was just majestic, elite pace, dribbling, creativity, and finishing.
Peak Henry is one of the best I have ever seen and I have seen plenty great players. He is the closest thing to young R9 and in fact he was even better that The phenomenom is some aspects of the game
He was an absolute cheat code for arsenal. Speed, dribbling, control, creativity, long range shots, crossing, as an attacker he had it all. If only he didn't play for arsenal.
He was virtually unplayable between 2000-04. No other player could you just give the ball to anywhere in the opposition half and watch them open up the entire defence each time. His ability to run at and then get away from opposition defenders like they weren't there was unparalleled. The PL has had some amazing strikers over the years but Henry sits at the top of the pile.
2 years?? 2 years? That's a lie. His prime was between 2002 until 2006. He was an alien for FOUR years. There was very little difference between all those seasons. Look at his 2005/06 performances. He abasolutely dragged that Arsenal team on his own, when a big number of players aged or left. It's beyond wrong to say his prime lasted only 2 years.
When people obsess about 'total goals' and put the likes of Kane and Haaland in the same category as Henry, just show them this video. They are on different planets. Stats only tell a very narrow story. Henry was an absolute baller.
Yes, the first song isn't ideal, I realized that after I put this together - but I still like how the chorus drops with his dribbles/runs. You guys can stop mentioning the music now.

The greatest of all time
Eff the ballon d’or henry was in a different atmosphere his legacy eclipses all awards Henry is football
GOAT 🐐
its incredible how fast he was with the ball also his control was amazing
No player has ever dominated the Prem as much x
The GOAT❤
what a player and a joy to watch
Loved the Henry vs Nistelrooy years. Totally different styles, both brilliant. Prime PL.
Henry not winning that champions league final with arsenal in 06 broke my heart man that would of been amazing to witness but we was lucky enough to have such a great player at our beloved arsenal
Thank you!
He is the GOAT without question in my eyes.
At his peak Thierry Henry was a beast and one of the most elite complete striker
Makes wanna to cry in joy and for what was.
You can't explain to youngsters today how good he was. It was during a time where football was so different. Defenses were much harder to break down, people scored less and yet his stats still measure up to the best of today. If Henry played today he would have much better stats. Defenders could get away with much more back then, and still he scored for fun.
Across those seasons he scored 71 goals (9 free kicks) and had 43 assists in 106 games. Moreover, the quality of his play was just majestic, elite pace, dribbling, creativity, and finishing.
Peak Henry is one of the best I have ever seen and I have seen plenty great players. He is the closest thing to young R9 and in fact he was even better that The phenomenom is some aspects of the game
Why T.Henry never win a Balloon d'or in his prime 😢 one of the Legendary Footballers ❤
Our GGOAT TH14 was simply the best
His pace n brilliance made him to be the best
He was an absolute cheat code for arsenal. Speed, dribbling, control, creativity, long range shots, crossing, as an attacker he had it all. If only he didn't play for arsenal.
Liverpool fan and the guy was phenomenal
The good old days, when the footballing quality and players were at their peak.
Prime Henry would be the best player in the world today. Back then he had A LOT of competition for that title.
He was quick and powerful.. Taking on players..
Titi was my favorite player when I was young 02-06 Henry was just unstoppable
I just had a dream that I used to watch Bergkamp and Henry every week playing for Arsenal. What a dream it was!
Greatest premier league player no cap
Am proud to boost that I saw all this live and not talked like a story....igweeeee
Henry is a good dribbler and v agile for such a tall guy.
Pure elegance. Prem GOAT
He was virtually unplayable between 2000-04. No other player could you just give the ball to anywhere in the opposition half and watch them open up the entire defence each time. His ability to run at and then get away from opposition defenders like they weren't there was unparalleled. The PL has had some amazing strikers over the years but Henry sits at the top of the pile.
2 years??
2 years?
That's a lie.
His prime was between 2002 until 2006. He was an alien for FOUR years.
There was very little difference between all those seasons.
Look at his 2005/06 performances. He abasolutely dragged that Arsenal team on his own, when a big number of players aged or left. It's beyond wrong to say his prime lasted only 2 years.
Agree. 05/06 was arguably his best season considering how weak the team was. He dragged them to the UCL final.
When people obsess about 'total goals' and put the likes of Kane and Haaland in the same category as Henry, just show them this video. They are on different planets. Stats only tell a very narrow story. Henry was an absolute baller.
