Thierry Henry \u2013 gifted, charismatic and a genuinely world-class footballer \u2013 has passed into Arsenal legend as the hero of a team that finally ended Manchester United\u2019s dominance. But as he approached the autumn of his career, Thierry\u2019s crown began to slip \u2013 from the infamous \u2018Hand of Gaul\u2019 incident to a dismal World Cup 2010 campaign.
