The arrival

Arsene Wenger's search for a new striker to lead the Arsenal line ended with a Ł10.5m move for Juve's Henry in August 1999.

Before long the Highbury fans were serenading a new star...

I met a bloke at the pub last night,
He said to me there's a new Ian Wright,
I said to him, how can that be?
He told me a name, it was Thierry Henry.
