A celebrity that I admire to this day would have to be Thierry Henry who is a current striker for New York Red Bulls in major league soccer. It was when he was playing for Arsenal that Thierry Henry made his name as a world class player. Despite initially struggling in the Premier League, he emerged as Arsenal’s top goal scorer for almost every session of his tenure there. Under long time mentor and coach Arsene Wenger, Henry became a prolific striker and Arsenal’s all time leading goal scorer with 288 goals in all competitions. Henry won two league titles and three FA cups with the Gunners, he was runner up for the FIFA World Player of the Year Award twice. Henry spent his last two seasons with Arsenal leading them to the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final. Henry is known for his style of play on the football field and his personality and visions towards life and football of the field. 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 divorced some time later in 2007. Henry was also one of the top commercially marketed footballers, he was ranked ninth in the world in 2006.
