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."
