He played for Monaco, Juventus, Barcelona, New York Red Bulls and spent eight years at Arsenal where he is the club's all-time record goalscorer. At international level he represented France and is his country's record goalscorer. </p> <h2 style="color:red"><strong><a name="early_years">Early years</a></strong></h2> <p class="early_years"> Henry is of Antillean heritage: his father, Antoine, is from Guadeloupe (La Désirade island), and his mother, Maryse, is from Martinique. He was born and raised in Les Ulis suburb of Paris which, despite sometimes being seen as a tough neighbourhood, provided good footballing facilities. As a seven-year-old, Henry showed great potential, prompting Claude Chezelle to recruit him to the local club CO Les Ulis. His father pressured him to attend training, although the youngster was not particularly drawn to football. He joined US Palaiseau in 1989, but after a year his father fell out with the club, so Henry moved to ES Viry-Châtillon and played there for two years. US Palaiseau coach Jean-Marie Panza, Henry's future mentor, followed him there. </p> <h2 style="color:red"><strong><a name="club_career">Club career</a></strong></h2> <span class="span1" tabindex="0"><h3 ><strong>1992–1999: Beginnings at Monaco and transfer to Juventus </strong></h3></span> <p class="juve" style="display: none;"> In 1990, Monaco sent scout Arnold Catalano to watch Henry, then at the age of 13 in a match.Henry scored all six goals as his side won 6–0. Catalano asked him to join Monaco without even attending a trial first.<br> After a tentative start to his Monaco career, Henry was named the French Young Footballer of the Year in 1996, and in the 1996–97 season, his solid performances helped the club win the Ligue 1 title.<br> Henry left Monaco in January 1999, one year before his intimate and closest teammate David Trezeguet, and moved to Italian club Juventus for £10.5 million. He played on the wing, but he was ineffective against the defensive discipline exhibited by teams in Serie A, struggling in a position that was uncharacteristic for him, scoring just three goals in 16 appearances.</p> <span class="span2" tabindex="0"><h3><strong>1999–2007: Move to Arsenal, breakthrough, and success</strong></h3></span> <p class="arsenal" style="display: none;">Unsettled in Italy, Henry transferred from Juventus on 3 August 1999 to Arsenal for an estimated fee of £11 million, reuniting with his former manager Arsène Wenger. It was at Arsenal that Henry made his name as a world-class footballer, and although his transfer was not without controversy, Wenger was convinced he was worth the transfer fee. After several difficult months in England, Henry even conceded that he had to "be re-taught everything about the art of striking." These doubts were dispelled when he ended his first season at Arsenal with an impressive goal tally of 26.<br><img src="https://platform-static-files.s3.amazonaws.com/premierleague/photos/players/250x250/p1619.png" style="float:left;width:200px;height:200px;"><br> Coming off the back of a victorious UEFA Euro 2000 campaign with the national team, Henry was ready to make an impact in the 2000–01 season.Armed with one of the league's best attacks, Arsenal finished runner-up to perennial rivals Manchester United in the Premier League. The team also reached the final of the FA Cup, losing 2–1 to Liverpool. Henry remained frustrated, however, by the fact that he had yet to help the club win honours, and frequently expressed his desire to establish Arsenal as a powerhouse.<br><br> Success finally arrived during the 2001–02 season. Arsenal finished seven points above Liverpool to win the Premier League title, and defeated Chelsea 2–0 in the FA Cup Final.Henry became the league's top goalscorer and netted 32 goals in all competitions as he led Arsenal to a double and his first silverware with the club.There was much expectation that Henry would replicate his club form for France during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but the defending champions suffered a shock exit at the group stage.<br><br> 2002–03 proved to be another productive season for Henry, as he scored 32 goals in all competitions while contributing 23 assists—remarkable returns for a striker. In doing so, he led Arsenal to another FA Cup triumph (where he was man-of-the-match in the Final), although Arsenal failed to retain their Premier League title. Throughout the season, he competed with Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy for the league scoring title, but the Dutchman edged Henry to the Golden Boot by a single goal. Nonetheless, Henry was named both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year. His rising status as one of the world's best footballers was affirmed when he emerged runner-up for the 2003 FIFA World Player of the Year award.<br><br> Entering the 2003–04 season, Arsenal were determined to reclaim the Premier League crown. Henry was again instrumental in Arsenal's exceptionally successful campaign; together with the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pirès, Henry ensured that the Gunners became the first team in more than a century to go through the entire domestic league season unbeaten, claiming the league title in the process. Apart from being named for the second year running as the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year, Henry emerged once again as the runner-up for 2004 FIFA World Player of the Year award. With 39 goals scored in all competitions, the Frenchman led the league in goals scored and won the European Golden Boot. However, as was the case in 2002, Henry was unable to lead the national side to honours during UEFA Euro 2004. </p> <span class="span3" tabindex="0"><h3 ><strong>2007–2010: Barcelona and a historic treble</strong></h3></span> <p class="barca" style="display: none;"> <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Thierry_Henry_2008.jpg" style="float:right;width:170px;height:240px;"> On 25 June 2007, in an unexpected turn of events, Henry was transferred to Barcelona for €24 million. He signed a four-year deal for a reported €6.8 (£4.6) million per season.At Barcelona, Henry was given the number 14 jersey, the same as he had worn at Arsenal. He scored his first goal for his new club on 19 September 2007 in a 3–0 Champions League group stage win over Lyon. <br> Henry went on to surpass this tally in a more integrated 2008–09 campaign, winning the first trophy of his Barcelona career on 13 May 2009 when Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final. Barcelona won the Primera División and UEFA Champions League soon after, completing a treble for the Frenchman, who had combined with Messi and Samuel Eto'o to score 100 goals between them that season. The trio was also the most prolific trio in Spanish league history, scoring 72 goals and surpassing the 66 goals of Real Madrid's Ferenc Puskás, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Luis del Sol of the 1960–61 season (this was later surpassed by Real Madrid trio Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuaín who scored 89 goals in 2011–12). Later in 2009, Henry helped Barcelona win an unprecedented sextuple, consisting of the aforementioned treble, the Supercopa de España, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. </p> <span class="span4" tabindex="0"><h3 ><strong>2010–2014: New York Red Bulls and retirement</strong></h3></span> <p class="mls" style="display: none;"> <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Thierry_Henry_control_cropped.jpg/400px-Thierry_Henry_control_cropped.jpg" style="float:right;width:200px;height:247px;"> In July 2010, Henry signed a multi-year contract with Major League Soccer (MLS) club New York Red Bulls for the 2010 season as its second designated player. He made his full MLS debut on 31 July in a 2–2 draw against Houston Dynamo, assisting both goals to Juan Pablo Ángel. His first MLS goal came on 28 August in a 2–0 victory against San Jose Earthquakes. The Red Bulls eventually topped the MLS Eastern Conference by one point over Columbus Crew before losing 3–2 on aggregate against San Jose Earthquakes in the quarter-finals of the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs. The next season, the Red Bulls were 10th overall in the league, and bowed out in the Conference semi-finals of the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs. </p> <h2 style="color:red"><strong><a name="honours">Honours</a></strong></h2> <ul> <li>Ballon d'Or – Runner-up: 2003;[158] Third-place: 2006</li> <li>FIFA World Player of the Year – Silver Award: 2003, 2004</li> <li>UNFP Division 1 Young Player of the Year: 1996–97</li> <li>PFA Players' Player of the Year: 2002–03, 2003–04</li> <li>FWA Footballer of the Year: 2002–03, 2003–04, 2005–06</li> <li>Premier League Golden Boot: 2001–02, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06.</li> <li>Onze d'Or: 2003, 2006</li> <li>European Golden Boot: 2003–04, 2004–05</li> <li>French Player of the Year: 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006</li> <li>English Football Hall of Fame : 2008</li> <li>Légion d'Honneur : 1998</li> </ul> </div> </div> <footer class="text-center"> <p>All the above content has been sourced from : <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Henry">wikipedia</a></p> <p>Coded by abhisahni</p> </footer> </body>
