19 years ago today, Thierry Henry joined Premier League side Arsenal from Juventus in a £11 million, club record deal.
From that day, he went on to become the club's all-time leading goalscorer.
In fact, the iconic French striker has been labelled the club's greatest player of all time by some after scoring 228 goals during his time in North London.
He is the only player ever to have won the FWA Footballer of the Year three times, becoming his countries all-time top scorer while securing his place in football history.

That's right. Following his coaching role at the World Cup, Henry harbours ambitions of a full-time management role and reports did originally suggest that a verbal agreement was in place for Henry to be Aston Villa's new boss, but those rumours failed to materialise.
We can't wait to see the Frenchman throw out orders on the touchline.
