The hero returns to Arsenal this Wednesday for an emotional Champions League quarter-final night at The Emirates as Barcelona arrive â complete with Thierry Henry.
It will be strange to see 'Titi' playing against the Gunners, but the home fans shouldn't be too angry: Arsene Wenger has repeatedly shown he knows when players are past their sell-by date and when to move them on.
In fairness to Henry, he's collected rather a lot of medals for someone who's past it: within the last 12 months he's collected the Champions League, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, Spanish Supercup, UEFA Supercup and FIFA Club World Cup â while his former employers have gone potless for four seasons.
And IâÂÂm sure if you asked Arsenal fans now if theyâÂÂd rather have Henry or Nicklas Bendtner, most would pick the Frenchman.
Anyway, weâÂÂre running more than 70 different bets on tomorrowâÂÂs game â but one that stands out is whoâÂÂll get HenryâÂÂs shirt at the end of the game. ItâÂÂs the norm now for footballers to collect opponents' shirts for their mock museums in one of the many wings of their palatial homes.
Young Cesc Fabregas leads the way at 5/2 to nab the shirt of his armbanded predecessor. Another option might be HenryâÂÂs fellow Invincible, Sol Campbell â providing heâÂÂs still standing after 90 minutes trying to chase Messi & Co. Or maybe Mr Va Va Voom will do the honourable thing and just throw it in the crowd? Pays well at 18/1.
WhoâÂÂll Get HenryâÂÂs Shirt?
5/2 Fabregas
7/2 Campbell
13/2 Walcott
15/2 Nasri
18/1 The Arsenal Crowd
25/1 Eboue
