PRIME THIERRY HENRY'S SPEED - Incredible Acceleration and Skill

I wanted to demonstrate Thierry Henry's infamous speed. I gathered all the best clips I could find, edited it thoroughly, slapped some Muse and here we are.

That guy was a monster. He could score with the head, with a free kick, left foot, right foot, with the heels, knees, anything. Mbappe is now more famous and richer only because now we have social media.

It's not purely about his speed.

It's the combination of his big frame, his acceleration, his speed, his dribbling ability in tight spaces and his graceful body movements that made Henry, in his prime, such a beautiful sight to behold.

[omarbiro]

Henrys playing style is the most attractive I've ever seen.

[diganto]

He could do everything. For a brief period in early 2000s, he was the best . If there was social media, he would be having a larger fan base than Mbappe. Although I am a Liverpool fan, it was an honor to see Henry play during that era.

1:35 Dude got utterly exhausted from the nutmeg he just had to put his hands on his waist and re-evaluate life decisions 😂😂😂

[NYsthwonder]

Still cannot believe this man was never given a golden boot.

"I've seen most things in this league for the last 25 years. I haven't seen anything like him."

man henry looks like he is not even trying

[morebaklavapls]

He is so underrated when people talk about the greatest players ever they always say R9 and zidane and maradona but i think prime Henry easily slots in top 20 players of all time

[lastonewon]

Sometimes we forget how good Henry was, just different class, I always felt that he made it look like he was a grown man playing with under 16s. Just levels above at times. Still for me the best player in history of the Prem.

[Pat_Alex]

The most elegant player ever as the fluidity of his movements is simply astounding...

[kyrfoot]

Nothing is more impressive as getting past a legendary figure in Alessandro Nesta, in such a fashion.

[sambitkoley]

It's not only about the speed or acceleration. It's the sheer control with the ball at that speed. God gifted talent.

[H.L.S.]

Anyone that witnessed Henry in his prime knows he was on another level!

[Seferboy]

There was a run between him and Roberto Carlos that was epic, I remember Turkish commentator said Henry and Carlos at level 3 speed now Henry leveled up to 5 but Carlos still 3 😂😂

[rutinerad]

So elegant, even when outrunning everyone else he was just floating, always looked as if he had another gear if needed. Just as elegant as Zidane, who gets way more praise for that.

[danielneil]

I remember watching that nutmeg on mills on match of the day as a kid. It has to be the single most humiliating thing i have ever seen on a football pitch.

[SunnyDarkoShow]

I always forget Henry destroyed the prem more than any other player.

[akumamatata]

Loved the way Henry purposely slows down and suddenly accelerates and leaves defenders behind eating dust

0:20 That dribbling from Henry is very smooth. Amazing skills. Absolutely stupendous player!
