Getting Physical - Thierry Henry

I am one of millions of football fans with a passion for the World Game. I played football and basketball since I was a kid, and always loved both sports (among others). I believe that football thrives beyond the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, French Ligue, Spanish Primera Liga, German Bundesliga, and countless Cups around the World. If I am not writing, you can find me in the field or the court kicking, juggling, dribbling, and kicking like there's no tomorrow.

If you have any questions or insights about my blogs, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

Thierry Henry

Different footballers have different styles of playing. Some are the scrappy type that develop loose plays into winning goals. Others are the fierce offensive type that will strike no matter how far. Thierry Henry is in the middle. He is of finesse and accuracy that made him famous in the world of football.

Henry rose to fame when he landed on the Arsenal Football Club, a team in the English Football League. It was here that he made his name as a world-class footballer. He became Arsenal’s top goal scorer for almost every season of his stay there. Henry also became the club’s all-time leading scorer of 266 goals in all competitions. He also won two leage titles and three FA cups. He was nominated twice for the FIFA World Player of the Year, the PFA Players’ Player of the Year twice, and the Football Writer’s Association Footballer of the Year thrice.
