For 2 years the Premier League witnessed an alien

A compilation of Thierry Henry in his prime between 2002-04. This is one of the best footballing peaks of all time, and the best the premier league has ever seen. 2004-06 Henry was still unbelievable, his technique and finishing improved, but he lost a tiny bit of his explosiveness/speed through, so I wanted to capture this version of Henry - just unstoppable. Crazy he never won the ballon d'or.

Yes, the first song isn't ideal, I realized that after I put this together - but I still like how the chorus drops with his dribbles/runs. You guys can stop mentioning the music now.

Kids, no highlights will ever come close to doing the man justice. As a United fan, I'm happy to admit this man gave us all so much joy. Hated him but absolutely loved to watch him play football. Absolute poetry.

Liverpool Fan Here. And as MUCH AS I LOVE and RATE Salah...It is IMPOSSIBLE to look past Thierry and put Salah Above. Even when he gets the numbers. Henry could do EVERYTHING. WITH EASE. Dribble...Run...Free Kicks...Tackle. Best I have EVER WATCHED in the Prem. NO CONTEST.

People who never saw his peak cannot imagine how good it was. Wonderful player. The best in England imo from a complete forward.

Henry never winning Balond'or is the biggest robbery in football😢

The sort of player everyone respects, regardless of who you support

There has never been a player in PL history that has terrified opposition players more than this guy. Some English fans and pundits proclaim Shearer as the greatest but in truth, Henry was just a monster. Too fast and too skilful for defenders, there are so many stories of players having nightmares before coming up against this man. On top of that, he's a nice guy so gets the respect of everyone in football.

Henry should have won the Ballon d'Or in '03 and '04. He was simply the best footballer on the planet at that time.

Chelsea fan here since 1995. He was simply unplayable and unstoppable. I've seen my team come up against Crisitano and Messi, but it was only Henry that I genuinely feared. He was an absolute monster.

[GeorgeDrumm]

the way he took that ball and ran with it full pace with perfect control as well of the amazing awerness was thing of magic

By far the best premier league player ever, unbelievable player, pure magic to watch.

Henry was so good that his highlights are unbelievable and they still don’t do him justice

[goonerlife]

This guy was the best footballer on the planet between 24-28 years old and it wasn't even close, he should have won 4 Ballon D'or's

[GhostIkechukwu-kykc]

The pace balance and finesse was out of this world... premier league hasn't gotten a player like this again

[Rocksteadymac]

The pace and balance he had at this time was incredible

[robkelly]

I've always thought of Thierry Henry as, if I was going to build a footballer, what would I build. I'd build Thierry Henry.

I remember being in a pub watching Arsenal V Leeds during this time, he scored 4, he was just exploding through waist height tackles, one of the goals he was kicked and he readjusted his feet in midair and chipped the keeper all in one motion. Truly unstoppable in that era.
