Thierry Henry Handball Vs Ireland

It was November 2009, and after they both finished second in their group, Republic Of Ireland were playing France in a playoff for a place in the World Cup 2010.

The first leg, in Ireland, finished 1-0 to France, setting up a nail-biting second leg. Ireland took the lead in the second leg in Paris, which took the game to extra-time. With just minutes remaining before the game went to penalties, Henry handled the ball not once but twice before knocking it across for WIlliam Gallas to tap in.

The goal meant that France rather than Republic Of Ireland went to the World Cup, although Ireland later qualified for Euro 2012.
