If you watch football then you know whom i am talking about. It is "Thierry Henry", one of the greatest footballer and the best striker in Barclays Permier League ever.
So how did it start ? If you are an Indian then you know the importance of cricket to football. To be true, nobody gives a shit about European football here. For me also it was a transition from cricket to football. Back in 2005, there aroused a question in my mind. Whenever i used to go to Chandigarh or Delhi, i will always find some of the people wearing football t-shirts with big number 14 along with Henry written below on the back of it, while some of them had a bald headed guy and an O2 on it. I was aware of EPL before also, but never actually cared about it. Just like any other person you will either be Manchester United fan or Anti-ManU. So to speak, i was Manchester United fan. I have never watched one complete game of Manchester United before 2005, but whenever there was a conversation, i will enter as a ManU guy :D . In TV also quite a lot of times i will see this bald headed figure scoring goals, but just ignored it all together. But then in 2005, time came, when i was like who the hell is this guy.
So started reading about him. It was just after watching 8-9 goals of him that i thought "Man, football is worth watching". Started following the league, and still a ManU fan( I told you it is by default ). Transition occurred, i became a fan of Arsenal. He was scoring goals for Arsenal which no one had ever thought of. Sheer guts to try those kind of things. Defense was as good as it could be. ManU, rather take any team for that matter, was helpless against him.
So many years have gone, and have realized one thing, Thierry Henry was the most dominating striker in english Premier League ever. It is sad that he left EPL. Amazing thing is that he didn't stop after leaving EPL. Continued his form, and with Barcelona won all championships in an year for the first time. Barca has never achieved that feat before. And now in NY Red Bulls, he is at the top of ratings. ;)
