It is a sad day in football circles as former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry announced his retirement from football after an illustrious 20-year career.
The Arsenal legend will now be the new face of Sky Sports as he becomes a pundit in a multi-million pound deal. His contract with Sky will allow him to start work on his coaching badges, which could eventually lead to a return to Arsenal as a coach.
Henry took the decision to hang up his boots at the age of 37 after opting not to sign a new contract with MLS club New York Red Bulls and brings an end to one of the most successful playing careers of the modern era.
Henry will be remembered as one of the best strikers the Premier League has ever seen after what he achieved at Arsenal. He spent eight years as a Gunner and became a legend at the club scoring 228 goals in all competitions, 175 of those coming in the Premier League.
He helped Arsene Wenger's side win the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2002 and was also part of the invincible title-winning team of 2004.
As a devout Gunner, this is wishing him all the best in his new endevours and to say a very big 'THANK YOU' to him for all the wonderful memories.
