Player Profile: Thierry Daniel Henry
Name: Thierry Daniel Henry
Born: Les Ulis, France
Nationality: France
Position: Forward
DOB: 17/8/1977
Current Club: Barcelona
Once known for his blinding pace and little else, France`s Thierry Henry has recently become along with Ruud Van Nistelrooij one of the best all-round strikers in world football.
Now considered by FIFA as one of the top three players in the beautiful game, Henry`s transformation from a bit-part player on Juventus`s left wing to a centre-stage role with Arsenal has more than a touch of the fairytale about it.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger`s decision to end Henry`s unhappy spell in Turin and convert him into a central striker has been spectacularly successful for both player and club.
Henry has still got the pace, but Wenger has brought out the 26-year-old`s superb dribbling skills and encouraged him to both run at defenders and to shoot on sight. It is a potent combination.
Born into the new-town suburbs of Paris and detected by the radar of France`s prestigious national football academy at the age of 13, he signed professional forms for Wenger at Monaco three years later and made his debut two weeks after his 17th birthday.
He signalled his arrival on the European stage in Monaco`s fine run to the Champions League semi-finals in 1997-98 and then reached a global audience a few months later as France`s top scorer in their World Cup-winning side. His reward was a move in January 1999 to Italian greats, Juventus, though his Serie A career never really took off.
Months later, Henry made a welcome return to Wenger`s orders, this time under the grey skies of north London, and the man from Les Ulis has not looked back since.
A Euro 2000 winner with France, and a league and FA Cup double winner with Arsenal in 2002, the only setback has been his share of the blame for France`s collective debacle at the 2002 World Cup, notably his 25th-minute red card in their second game against Uruguay.
Henry has since kept his temper in check, with Arsenal being the biggest beneficiary. [Reuters, May 2004]
