Le Roi du But

Thierry Henry is considered the greatest player in Premier League history by many who watched the complete era. His partnership with Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp, and Patrick Vieira in Arsène Wenger’s Invincibles — the only team to go an entire Premier League season undefeated — produced football of such beauty it is still played on highlight reels as art.
