HENRY THE KING IS BACK!!!

Beware Chelsea & Man Utd, Henry is back!!!

France international striker Thierry Henry has become Arsenal’s all-time leading goalscorer by overtaking Gunners legend Ian Wright with his double against Sparta Prague last night in the Champions League.

The influential forward, only back from a seven-game long sideline spell last night, showed all his class after only 21 minutes of play, an amazing long-range drive from the outside of his right foot ending up its course in the back of the Sparta net, to the delight of all Arsenal fans.

Henry’s second goal 15 minutes from the end took the Frenchman’s Gunners scoring record to an amazing 186 units, beating the club’s former leading goalscorer Ian Wright, and sending the France international to cloud nine.

"It sounds great to hear 'Thierry Henry, record goalscorer for Arsenal'. Wrighty was a great player and will always be a legend at Arsenal.

To beat his record is tremendous. I wanted to do it at Highbury but if I get the chance to score I'll take it,” said a delighted Henry.

Henry’s double helped Arsenal clinch their third win (out of three) in their CL Group stage campaign.
