10 modern day greats whose jersey numbers should be retired

#6 Thierry Henry (Arsenal)

Premier League's greatest striker ever

Thierry Henry is regarded as one of the greatest Premier League players of all-time. The Frenchman joined Arsenal when he was 22 and went on to become the club's top goalscorer, making 369 appearances for Arsenal and scoring 226 goals.

In the 2003/04 season, Arsenal regained the Premier League without a single defeat and Henry made them "the Invincibles". He was one of the most unselfish strikers to have played the game, and was brilliant in one-on-ones and could go past defenders at will. He was an outstanding dribbler and possessed thunderous pace.

Jersey no.14 holds a special place in the Gunners history. Lionel Messi once said, “The first day that he came into the dressing room, I did not dare to look him in the face. I knew everything that he had done in England.”
