Thierry tribute

The Titi tribute continues...I didnt want to do this so soon. But as thierry left, there's no better time. Time to put my knowledge and memory to good use. (Note:Only arsenal fans would understand the moments).So here's a brief timeline and famous events.Before thierry signed in 1999, he already did this.

Thierry with Youri Djorkaeff with the only golden trophy.

Wenger:"I see a striker in you Titi".And guess what happened next.
Here comes the goals..

Remember Thierry's wonderful flick and volley over the helpless Barthez.
Thierry prevails yet again after Barthez blunders.

The golden years for Henry. The spectacular run from more than half the pitch length to score past "everyone"against spurs.Not to forget, it was goal of the season.
Then, the breathtaking and weaving run through "entire" liverpool defence to put arsenal in pole for the title.Next, the outstanding 4-goal effort to destroy leeds 5-0.Pires scored first.

Thierry threads through the Real defence starting with Ronaldo and scores to give arsenal a boasting name to be the 1st english team to win at the Bernabeau. Then, the outer boot curler against sparta in the group stage.

Henry showing Bentley how high he flies at arsenal.
Henry making Puyol look like an amateur.

The lows...
The only two things that has eluded Thierry's career. Thierry losing out to Ronny in the FIFA World Player of the Year and again at the UCL Final.I know it's agonizing Thierry, we feel it too.
I hate to say this, but why must it be associated with Barca?

I think I will leave it until here for the moment.
Remember Thierry! You'll be in our hearts.
