Henry retires

[lfc003]

Surprised there's been no thread or post on this

 

The Premier League's greatest ever player for me, won pretty much every honour for club or country and was a clear level ahead of everyone else in the league during his prime...

 

Where would everyone rank him on an international scale, on par with the likes Ronaldo or a level below?

incredible player. was at highbury on good friday 2004 when a not even match fit henry basically beat us on his own.

[Hassony]

overrated, bottling, cheating c***

[RP]

I thought he'd retired a little while back.

He's been playing in the States, so he might as well have.

robbie keane, MVP 2014. just saying.

[Nathan Explosion]

Good point, Steve.

[whitewidow]

Great player, said nice things about Anfield and LFC.

[Falconhoof]

I always think of him doing carragher up like a kipper by the touchline.

Quite an interesting stat ... Henry scored against every Premiership team he ever faced, bar one.

didn't suarez go one better?

Really? Didn't know that.

 

Henry scored vs 34 out of 35 teams he played against. Only one he didn't was Swansea, but then again he only played 24 minutes against them.

Good point, Steve.

Wasn't even an effort to applaud the 3rd, was it?

Didn't have much choice after celebrating Owen's equaliser and forgetting we were in the North Bank...

You live there you bell.

He's trousering £4mill a year from Sky apparently, nice work if you can get it.

He will be giving Jamie nightmares in the Sky Studio - that wasn't the only time he did him, but that was spectacular - I don't recall anyone doing that to Jamie so apparently easily. Gave him a 3 yard start and was 5 yards past him before he even got moving.

 

IIRC, that game was around Christmas, but I went into work and advised my Manc colleagues - who were a large number of points ahead already - that if Arsenal, and Henry in particular, continued to play like that they would catch them by the end of the season; which, quite satisfyingly, they did (I think it was the season Arsenal won it at OT in the last game with a Wiltord goal )

That's insane for an ex-player. f*** off Murdoch.

Someone on the radio summed him up perfectly. "Faux modesty" will only go so far on telly, and he only likes to talk about himself.

[muleskinner]

the fluff pieces to camera on sky won't be helping him with this either, total cringe.

nothing like giving someone a fair crack of the whip !

Probably be cheating on his commentary too, eh?

[aka Dus]

I don't hold that against him. I would have expected someone in my team to do it too and hope they get away with it.
