Amazing player, was glad to see the back of him at Arsenal tbh..... as I love him as a player so much it would have been a massive shame for him to miss out on winning other leagues and the champions league 
He was successful in his time with Arsenal, scoring some brilliant goals, setting up brilliant goals, being ridiculously entertaining and generally being just a really good bloke which is nice to see from a successful player. Had he been at Arsenal since then he'd have been great but not achieved a lot which he would have regretted and as a huge fan of his I would have been sad to see. I do wish he hadn't gone to the MLS as early as he did, a by product of the Barca/Real juggernaut is great players are often moved on after only a few years for another big name signing for the sake of a big name signing. I can see a player in his position maybe wouldn't want to take a step down to a lower level team but I'd have loved to see him for a few more years in a league I could more realistically watch.
One of my favourite players of all time, I'd like to see him take up some kind of coaching role at Arsenal if he's any good at it/has any interest in it.

When that is the height of his cheating it shows what type of player he was. A couple of ridiculous(as in should never have been given) red cards with the Bulls, he got one red with Arsenal and one with France, the latter being fair(by today's rules at least) the former I can't remember or find a video of.
If it turns out he takes to management I'd love for him to do so at Arsenal in the future, he has the winning mentality required and was a good leader for the team. Maybe a position along the lines of Vieira/Zidane to get him into the system, learning the ropes, helping to teach youth teams/reserves and building up from there while also helping with things like scouting and persuading players to sign with Arsenal, youngsters and first team players. But I think it would be key that he learns in such a role under someone other than Wenger.
A great player but when I think of Henry that's the first thing that comes into my mind.

That incident is probably the last thing I think about given everything he's achieved and the performances put in along the way. Was it really THAT big a deal?
Really ?? Wow

Exactly and thats coming from a UTD Fan as well. Top draw professional and played good football. One of them players you would pay to watch
Yeah well we all have our opinions, I remember it being pretty big at the time, and what it meant, and what was never done about it.
Just another shining example of the lack of qualities/moralities/integrity in the supposed beautiful game. But we can all forget about it 'cos he scored some good goals!
It's like Rivaldo and that play acting incident, great player but again prepared to cheat in order to win.

Wow, that's the last thing I think of when I think of Henry. Absolute genius of a player and had so many class moments
Well people can defend it as much as they like but it'll never be anything other than cheating in my book.
I also don't think it's hard to comprehend that some people may think of that incident when the name Henry is mentioned to them, there's probably a few in Irelend for starters, not so many in France I'd have thought though
You can't say that anyone would want their own player to do it, you may want your player to do it, but accept that others may not.

Best player i have watched in the Premier League, he literally had everything was such a complete player.
Like someone mentioned above he is one of those player i would pay to watch, dont think their was a weakness in his game.
