Thierry Henry: Most decorated in European Football

[ogsimon]

Apparently Thierry Henry is the most decorated footballer in European football history, he has now won:
- The World Cup
- European Championships
- Confederations Cup
- Champions League
- Premiership,
- La Liga,
- Ligue 1 ( when the French league was at its strongest)
- The Major cups in England, Spain and France and also the domestic league and cup double in all three countries!

Add to this he is France's all-time top goalscorer, Arsenal's all time top scorer, third in the all time Champions League goal scoring charts and third in the all time Premier League goal scoring charts...Is there anyone else in football history with a better all round trophy haul?

To reiterate this isnt a question of number of medals or winning 10 Premier League titles but a question of can anyone match the trophy haul over so many different competitions in multiple major footballing nations

Incredible player even on Arsenal.com today they where more or less celebrating him winning the Champions League.

 

[Sevillista]

Excellent player. Too bad he's an as$hole.

Excellent player. Too bad he's an as$hole.

everybody hates one player, sevillista choise TRI-ti henry

 

[Siawash]

He was the only player I respected/liked when he was at Arsenal. But he's a great footballer, very talented.

Zidane never even played in the EPL.

 

[Arnau]

and never win la copa del rey.

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

One of the most lethal, imaginative and elegant players i've ever seen.

 

[mnj2x]

Great achievement but has NEVER WON THE FIFA WORLD PLAYER AWARD.

Bravo Titi! Definitely the best French forward ever! He deserved to win a Ballon d'Or a few years ago.. Anyways, great career for this gentleman!

 

[Dytza]

I also think so. For me Sheva really didn't deserve that Golden Ball. That was Titi's trophy.

No, I hate looots of players

But I find Henry very arrogant on the field and I'll never forgive him for the Spain-France WC2006 knockout match. Puyol and him were both going after a ball, Henry ran into Puyol from the back, then threw his hands to his face even though no facial contact had been made. France scored the go ahead goal on the ensuing play.

But I have a lot of respect for his abilities.

Puyol did much worse to Henry during the UCL final a few weeks before.

 

[Dytza]

I remember that one. But I'd not rate a player because only one thing on the field.

Look, after Arnau's comment, I'd like to open a thread on "Which player you hate most?", if it hasn't been made yet.
