10 Greatest Tributes To Arsene Wenger 

#4 Thierry Henry

A formidable partnership!

Arguably the greatest gift that Wenger has given to the world of football is the searing talent of Thierry Henry. The striker is widely regarded as one of the finest of his generation and is also the most prolific goal-scorer in the history of Arsenal Football Club with 228 goals.

After leaving for Barcelona and then to the MLS in the United States, the Frenchman reunited with his former manager at Arsenal for a brief period in 2012. Recently reports have claimed that all might be well between the two but the forward put these rumours to rest with a heart-warming tribute to his former boss:

"Recently, people were always confusing what the team were doing at present with his legacy. Once you announce you are leaving, people are going to talk about your legacy, and his legacy is untouchable. I'm happy now we can talk about that legacy. Yes, let's not forget we need to win the Europa League, let's not get lost in celebrating, it would be an amazing achievement and a great way to give him an exit. But I'm finally happy that now, the talk we can all have his about his legacy. It was a bit of a mixed one; it's a sad day for me to see the big man leaving the club, and happy in the way that people are hopefully going to give him the exit he deserves. The boss was the type of man that was going to trigger your brain on what you can achieve, then it's up to you to achieve it, go out there and perform. He gave you that freedom."
