Thierry Henry is Arsenal’s greatest-ever footballer.

Arsene Wenger signed his compatriot from Juventus in 1999. The former Gunners boss decided to turn him into a striker, and that proved to be one of his best decisions.

Henry spent eight years as an Arsenal player, seven of which came at Highbury – the Gunners’ iconic former stadium.

The Frenchman loves that place even to this day, and he is not shy to talk about one of the big records he holds in that ground.

Thierry Henry says there’s only one Arsenal record he can be ‘loud’ about

Henry was unstoppable during his time at Highbury.

The Frenchman played for one of the best teams in the country at the time, and some of his performances for Arsenal were truly breathtaking.

Henry won two Premier League titles and was the top scorer in the division in four of his six seasons at Highbury. He was truly sensational there.

That is the reason why the Arsenal legend is in love with Highbury, and he is beyond proud to have scored more goals than any other player in the history of that stadium – 114.

Speaking on CBS Sports in front of Highbury, he said: “It’s weird for me to be here because I used to call it my garden.

“That’s the record I’ll never lose. I’m the guy who scored the most goals at Highbury.

“That will never be beaten. That’s the only thing I can be loud about because the rest is supposed to be beaten. That’s the only thing I can claim, that can never be beaten.”

Thierry Henry refuses to go inside Highbury

Highbury was Arsenal’s home stadium for 93 years – from 1913 to 2006.

The club achieved immense success at the time, but a change was necessary to compete with the biggest sides in the world. So, in 2006, the Gunners moved to the Emirates Stadium.

After Arsenal left, the stadium was converted into a residential development called Highbury Square. New apartments were built, and other parts of the pitch were converted into a garden.

Henry doesn’t seem to be a fan of that, so he declined the offer to go inside Highbury, even though he was standing right in front of the entrance.

“Still looks the same; that’s why I don’t want to go inside. It will crush me,” Henry said.

“Nope, I won’t go in. You can beat me up or whatever you want. Call the guard if you want. I’m not going in. I have nothing to see. This is what I remember. This is what I always want to remember.”
