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 Uniteds dominance. But as he approached the autumn of his career, Thierrys 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 Henrys 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 Henrys outstanding flair and talent.
