Igwe Thierry Henry Retires From Football by alexov(m): 7:10pm On Dec 16, 2014 |
Former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry has announced his retirement from football after a trophy-laden 20-year career. The 1998 World Cup winner, and Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer, left New York Red Bulls this month but there was speculation he might choose to play on at another club. "It has been an incredible journey," said the 37-year-old. Henry is joining Sky Sports after being a World Cup pundit for the BBC. The Frenchman, who also played for Monaco, Juventus, and Barcelona, scored 175 Premier League goals and is fourth on the list of all-time scorers. Henry won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with the Gunners, where he played between 1999 and 2007. He added the Champions League trophy with Barcelona in 2009 and returned to Arsenal for four matches on loan from the Red Bulls in 2012, coming on as a substitute to score the winner against Leeds in the third round of the FA Cup. When asked if he had considered another stint at the Emirates, he told Sky Sports: "You kind of never leave Arsenal." But he added that another comeback might prove costly, referencing the 'Rocky' films starring Sylvester Stallone. "At one point, it will turn out to be a bad move," he said. "We all love the first Rocky, but I'm not too sure about the last one." Full story here: m.bbc.com/sport/football/30491577 1 Like |
