On this day 20 years ago, Thierry Henry joined Premier League side Arsenal from Juventus in a £11 million, club record deal.
The iconic French striker went on to become the club's all-time leading goalscorer and the rest is well, history.
Henry scored a remarkable 228 goals during his time in North London, and would go on to be labelled one of the club's greatest players, alongside the likes of Ian Wright, Patrick Vieira and Tony Adams.
It was a memorable spell in England for the former Juventus striker. To this day, Henry is the only player ever to have won the FWA Footballer of the Year three times, becoming his country's all-time top scorer.
