186 goals and a brand new record

Thierry Henry (Arsenal Football Club captain, premier stiker, one of the best players in the world) added another distinction to his already formidable list.

Yesterday, he became the highest scorer for Arsenal by scoring his 186th goal.

In scoring twice in Arsenal's Champions League match, Thierry broke the long standing Ian Wright record and became the Gunner's most prolific scorer ever. What is even more interesting is not the goals that he has scored (which is huge) but also the number of goals that he has helped to create.

A truely classy player, Henry currently stands alone at the peak of Mount Football as the best striker in the world.

As if to emphasize this, he came back into the Arsenal side after weeks of recuperating from injury. He came on after half time and, within 5 minutes, had scored the first goal. He would score another.

I wish Manchester United had him.
