Thierry Henry has called time on his football career

Henry returned to Arsenal for a brief last hurrah in 2012 playing four matches during a loan spell from the New York Red Bulls. He didn't disappoint scoring the winning goal in his first game back -- a third-round FA Cup tie against Leeds United. "He may be cast in bronze but he's still capable of producing truly golden moments," a<a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExPNxsVJA9E' target='_blank'> TV commentator roared </a>as the Frenchman celebrated. After 20 years, over 300 goals and a host of major honors, Thierry Henry has called time on his football career.
The Frenchman, who won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 with his country, is hanging up his boots to pursue a broadcasting career.
Although he made his breakthrough with French team Monaco, and spent time with Juventus, Barcelona and latterly New York Red Bulls, Henry is best remembered for a glittering eight-year spell with Arsenal in the English Premier League.
 Henry's move to Arsenal in 1999, after a troubled year in Turin with Juventus, saw him reunited with former Monaco coach Arsene Wenger and became the London club's all-time leading goalscorer and helped the Gunners win two league titles and the FA Cup on three occasions.
"It has been an incredible journey and I would like to thank all the fans, team mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and of course the French National Team that have made my time in the game so special," he said on his official Facebook page.
"I have had some amazing memories (mostly good!) and a wonderful experience. I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part. See you on the other side..."
Henry began his career with Monaco, playing in the principality between 1994 to 1999.

Thierry Henry has called time on a long and distinguished football career. The former French international, who turned 37 last August, announced his decision on Tuesday. He has spent the last four seasons playing for MLS side the New York Red Bulls.
After a year with Juventus, Henry's career took off when he signed for English side Arsenal in 1999. Here, he holds his newly pressed shirt with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger at the North London club's old ground, Highbury. Henry wheels away after scoring his 100th Premier League goal for Arsenal against Southampton in 2004. In 2007, Henry moved to Spain, joining Barcelona. A successful spell included two La Liga titles, one Copa del Ray and a European Champions League title in 2009.
