| Dumping Carragher on his ass. Thierry Henry. |
As 2011 came to a close there were more than whispers that
Thierry Henry would return to the club on loan, in a period when Arsenal
definitely needed freshening up. Just how much impact he might have was a
source of great speculation, with factions both for and against the move. To
pay homage to his second spell at the club I wanted to select a trademark
moment from our French master, perhaps optimistically wishing for a revival of
Henry’s vintage form.
Which to choose from so many? The volley versus United? The Charlton
backheel? The 227th goal [even if the 226th was way
nicer, and by the way how fitting that he would tie Ian Wright’s record then
surpass it in the very same match?], the full length pitch run versus
Tottenham? I decided on this goal, that played such a crucial role in Arsenal’s
crowning achievement.
