He is unquestionably the greatest striker in the game today—and perhaps the greatest ever. Thierry Henry is the enigmatic multi-millionaire Frenchman who has put the va-va-voom into the Premiership. Adored by fans of Arsenal and France worldwide, he has twice been voted Player and Footballer of the Year. But this living legend started his career with a pair of borrowed boots and endured hardship in his childhood on the tough streets of Paris. Oliver Derbyshire reveals for the first time the full story of a footballer destined to be ranked among such giants as Pele and Maradona.
