Thierry Henry

‘Illuminated by finely turned phrases and vivid insights’ - Richard Williams Guardian Sports Books of the Year. Thierry Henry – gifted charismatic and a genuinely world-class footballer – has passed into Arsenal legend as the hero of a team that finally ended Manchester United’s dominance. But as he approached the autumn of his career Thierry’s crown began to slip – from the infamous ‘Hand of Gaul’ incident to a dismal World Cup 2010 campaign. Suddenly a player who Arsene Wenger once dubbed ‘the greatest striker ever’ a man who had spent his career at the very top of the game began to learn how lonely such a position could be. Drawing from numerous interviews and impeccable sources as well as his own observations over the course of Henry’s entire career award-winning author Philippe Auclair has produced the most complete portrait of the Arsenal hero ever to be written. Clear-eyed lyrical and passionately argued Thierry Henry: Lonely at the Top is as raw shocking and thought-provoking as it is celebratory of Henry’s outstanding flair and talent.
