documentary about theierry henrie

Henry was born in Les Ulis, Essonne where he played for a local team when he was a youngster and was talented in scoring good goals. He was spotted by AS Monaco in 1990 and signed instantly, making his professional debut in 1994. Good form led to an international call-up in 1998, after which he signed for the Serie A defending champions Juventus. He had a disappointing season playing on the wing, before joining Arsenal for £11 million in 1999. It was at Arsenal that Henry made his name as a world-class footballer. even though he was struggling in the Premier League, he became Arsenal's top goal-scorer for almost every season.  Arsène Wenger trained him hard and made Henry become a top striker and Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with 226 goals in all competitions. The Frenchman won two league titles and three FA Cups with the Gunners; he was nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year twice, was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year twice, and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year three times. Henry spent his final two seasons with Arsenal as club captain, leading them to the UEFA Champions League final in 2006. In June 2007, after eight years with Arsenal, he transferred to Barcelona for a fee of 24 million. Henry had good success with the French national team, with france he won the 1998 World Cup, Euro 2000 and 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. In October 2007, he overtook Michel Platini's record to become France's top goal-scorer of all time. Henry retired from international football after the 2010 World Cup. Off the pitch, Henry is an active spokesperson against racism in football, partially due to his own experiences. He married English model Nicole Merry in 2003 and had a daughter with her, but they divorced in 2007. Henry was also one of the top commercially marketed footballers; he was ranked ninth in the world in 2006.
