Thierry Henry has achieved god-like status among Arsenal fans for his goal-scoring prowess and technical ability and the French striker is currently the club's all-time leading goal-scorer.

Henry has enjoyed significant success at a domestic level, most notably winning a historic treble with FC Barcelona including the La Liga title, the Copa Del Rey, and the Champions League in 2009.

The striker was also a part of the Invincibles, the Arsenal team that went unbeaten for an entire season in the Premier League.

The striker has also done well with the French national team, winning the 1998 World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000, while also surpassing Michel Platini to become France's top scorer.

Henry has come agonizingly close to winning the Ballon d'Or on two instances, coming third in 2006 and finishing as runner-up in 2003.
