[A]

Hello and welcome to the Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. We've got something a little bit different for you today. We're starting a brand new series of the show called Premier Greats. The Moments that Made Them. These episodes will be released every Wednesday from now until the end of the season and in each one we'll be focusing on one legend from the Premier League era. Within each episode we'll be picking five specific matches from their careers that were defining moments to discuss. We'll look at why each one was so significant for them, what it showed about their brilliance and temperament, and no doubt tell a few of our own stories about the times we've spent with them on and off the pitch. The great news is that you're watching the show on Spotify or YouTube. You'll be able to see all of those iconic moments as we're talking through. If you're listening, that's not a problem. You'll still get the episode just like normal. And here is telling tales of these greats and analyzing what Made them so special. Onto today's episode, then. And first up, we've got a true legend who really brought the va va voom to the Premier League. Who could it possibly be? The Frenchman won the league twice, scored 175 Premier League goals and was named in six PFA teams of the year. It is, of course, the brilliant Thierry Henry. There was just no stopping him. Even you must have played against Thierry a number of times, Alan.

[C]

Yeah, what a player. He brought so much to the Premier League, didn't he? Did bring that flair, he brought that pace, skill. I think everything you need as a top class forward, he sort of brought. But he. He had his own unique style, which was amazing.

[B]

The best to ever do it in the Premier League.

[C]

We'll watch a few episodes.

[B]

How good was he, though? Come on.

[A]

Oh, one of. One of the absolute greats.

[B]

And he's a great pundit too, I.

[A]

Was gonna say, because you now obviously work with him and he was probably one of your heroes as growing up, wasn't he?

[B]

Yeah, he was my hero.

[A]

Because, you know, obviously in those days, which you do admit that you used.

[B]

To follow Arsenal, it only took you 30 seconds to get it out. You know, man, City fans are on me. You know that. They absolutely hate me at the moment.

[A]

No, they don't.

[C]

What do you mean at the moment?

[A]

Not as much as when you play.

[B]

You always have to take it there, Alan, don't you? Why? You gotta take it there. But actually, my hero was Vieira first.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Because I thought I was a bit of a Vieira type player, midfield say.

[C]

That all his friends and pundits that, oh, you're my hero. He said, that's me months ago.

[B]

You've never been my hero.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Ever, Ever. I just found out he was a good player the other week. But Tierra, me, I mean, looking up to him, shoulders back, his smile, even his haircut. You remember his haircut, high top.

[A]

It wasn't the thing that struck me back then. It was more his talent.

[B]

No, but first you look at the appearance, don't you? And then you move on to the football. And he used to have his long socks above his knees, his boots, the vapors. And then the way he used to twist past people, he was like.

[A]

Yeah, he was.

[C]

He had a bit of a tough start in the Premier League, though.

[A]

He did, in fact. That will come onto the first moment shortly. But I just want to ask firstly about. Because you now know him personally, because you work with him at cbs, don't you?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What's he like? I mean, I've worked with him as well on major tournaments in the past and he's, I mean, he lives for the game as well, doesn't he? I mean, he lives and breathes football.

[B]

I think he's. In terms of breaking the game down, I think he's the best in the game. He watches probably three or four games per day and he analyzes everything. If you ask him about a team, no respect to us in the French league or the Spanish, he knows everything about every player. His dedication to football is the best of. You can just tell. He's just. It can be quite intense at times. You know, he would ask me question if I don't know the question and be like, you should know this. And it keeps me on my toes. But love for the game, I've never seen it before.

[A]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It was. He was always really in depth and, and even when you're not on air, talking football. Yeah, always seems to be talking football, which is, which is a great thing. As you said, Alan, he didn't have the greatest starts. Let's, let's, let's look at our first moment, which is actually his first goal. He came on as a sub. Henry holding off Almeida.

[C]

Oh, what a goal.

[A]

Thierry Henry scores his first for Arsenal. He'd gone quite a few games, eight appearances without scoring before he did that.

[C]

See that moment there, you know, when the ball goes up to him, when he's, when he had his back to you, he was brilliant. You know the way he sort of controlled the ball with the front of his foot. And if you're a defender, he was so quick at rolling you. And that moment there, we probably didn't know that. We're going to see loads of those in his career in the Premier League. The way he rolled a defender, because the defender wants to get tight on him. Fine. I used to love that as a.

[A]

Good ball from Tony, but there, look.

[C]

He was rolling that shield and the ball and then sort of moving it because his touch was that quick and the way he swiveled was that quick. He was almost impossible to stop when he was in that position.

[B]

We see his trim there, though.

[A]

God, he looks young there, doesn't he, eh? What a fine young looking man he was.

[B]

Reminds me of me.

[A]

Does he?

[C]

Or trim or not trim.

[A]

I think he's talking about his footballing ability. But it's not easy when you get off to a bad start, particularly if you've come. Obviously he was at UVA before, wasn't he? And he was very much a winger at uva, wasn't he? And Wenger kind of transformed him. I mean, he always did favor the left hand side often, but he was very much like as played up the center, didn't he? But drifts off to the left on occasions to cause a lot of problems in that part of the pitch.

[B]

Yeah. He said when he first went to Arsenal, I don't know if abuse is the right word, but he got a little bit of stick from the crowd. From the crowd. And just saying he doesn't score enough goals. He runs with the ball, but he doesn't know what he's doing with it. But he said every day he practiced and he'd learn in training to become better. And like I said before, he's got something in his brain where he needs to be the best. Even look in the shape of him now going on 50 and he's got a six pack. I went to the gym with him one time in America. I thought I must be able to outdo him in the gym.

[A]

Don't tell me.

[B]

Oh my God. He embarrassed me.

[A]

Really?

[B]

No, never again. Never ever, ever, ever. And I mean ever train with this guy. It's not normal, mate. Seriously. You know, when you get to that stage where you need to stop, he then pushes on to the next level. He's got something in his mind that just separates him from others. His drive, his commitment. He's just.

[A]

He's different.

[C]

When the gym and the weight. You mean he was. He was.

[B]

No, but the only intensity.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Have you heard of hit training?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So you might be doing, right, the. What's that called? The rower and the ski egg.

[A]

Really?

[B]

He's just.

[C]

What about the weights? Is he doing weights as well?

[B]

Nobody does light weights, but you know, when you like really try, he just does it. He just gets on with it. I've never met someone with that amount of commitment to everything he does.

[C]

He was a glider, wasn't he? When he sort of went past players and he looked. He was so. He was smooth.

[A]

I wonder how he coped in the. Those early days of not scoring. Because I think eight games without a goal crowd on you back, I mean.

[B]

Have you had that 12 games, wouldn't it?

[C]

Well, for England.

[A]

Yeah, that's England. But I mean when you go to a club you started pretty well at, I mean, you only had two moves, didn't you? Blackburn and Newcastle.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And did they both start well or.

[C]

Yeah, both started well. But in Southampton, when I made my debut at Southampton, I know it Wasn't Premier League, but I made my debut and you know what happened then. But then after that, I never scored for another five or six games that season. And then the following season I hardly ever scored. So yeah, I went long periods with. Without scoring in my younger days.

[A]

You kid. There was. But you're learning at that point.

[C]

But it's mentally tough mentally when you.

[A]

It's hard when you don't get a good start. Went to Everton. I was booed before the opening game because I took Andy Gray's place.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Not all the crowd, but there were elements of the crowd. You go through the starting lineup. Yes. Peter Reed way Trevor, Steven Ray, Gary Lineker. A lot of boots. That's before my debut and I didn't score then until the fourth game. Then it's all right. It's best. So I know what that. That feels like. And I'm sure it was the same for him, but he was. He was obviously pretty young at the time.

[B]

What did you feel like though, at the time when he was getting booed? I've been booed on a Tanner before.

[A]

Thinking, I mean, they loved Andy Gray and I get that. That was much better. I was all right, but he told me till Christmas to turn him around. I scored a lot of goals then. They like me.

[C]

The psychology of when you're on a Baron run is tough for any forward. Even Thierry. I mean, I know it took him time, but one of the best there has ever been we're talking about in him. But even him would have had a bit of self doubt. Even when you're going through those periods and it seems like forever, even it was what, seven or eight games for him. I bet you it felt like forever.

[B]

Who do you speak to though, in the moment? Is it your agent? Is it your family? Is it.

[C]

I think it's a bit of everything. It's somehow trying to find a belief that it will turn around and it will eventually. Because with. Particularly when you're talking about great players as he was. Yeah, it eventually will work and it.

[A]

Will happen for you gotta trust yourself. On to the second moment. I think we all remember this one. The flick up and the turn, the twist, the volley into the corner. I was actually at Highbury for that game. Yeah. And I can't remember why I was at that game. I can't remember. I was doing. I don't think I was doing anything with tv, but I was there. It was unbelievable. We just went, wow, they're in possession with Henry.

[B]

Oh, wow, what a goal. Wow.

[C]

Unbelievable.

[A]

I mean, what makes you think to do that?

[B]

He explained this when I was working with that.

[A]

What did he say? Did he practice it?

[B]

And he said he looked where the goalkeeper was and then he always wanted to do it. So like he waited, but he was waiting for the right moment to do it because he said when the ball comes to that touch, first touch has to be right. Well, yeah, and he's tried to do it before and the touch wasn't right, but he said he felt it.

[A]

Did he train? Did he practice in training or not? It was just.

[B]

No, he said he didn't practice it in training. He said he just did it in games. He was always looking to score that goal and the right moment, just little thing.

[C]

But you don't honestly, when you look at that, how many things you have to do that have to have to happen. I mean, the touch, the flick up the swivel like I mentioned, and the turn, the technique to hit it to get it on. I mean, it's a ridiculously tough piece of skill. And he's made it look so, so easy, hasn't he?

[B]

Remember the celebration after it though? Yeah, no, do you remember that?

[A]

Yeah, I do. But why?

[B]

Some scary movie everyone was doing at the time. Do you remember?

[A]

I've not seen scary movies.

[C]

Seen a few scary movies.

[B]

I remember it. No, we're in the last go.

[A]

Never saw the film.

[B]

You are old and man, I just.

[C]

Thought you were on about scary movies. I've seen a few of them in my time.

[B]

No, honestly, Google it.

[C]

Can we get it?

[B]

Can we get someone? Let me get.

[A]

I'll probably. It's okay.

[B]

Let me show you guys. It's like working with two pencilers.

[A]

Well, actually I qualify now. I'm 65. Well, I could get one if I want. Never claimed a book.

[B]

Okay, let me get this.

[A]

I probably should get my books. Pass.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Who was in it?

[A]

Micah Tier is nearly our age, by the way, so don't be disrespectful. Your elders.

[B]

Sorry, guys.

[A]

What we got here?

[B]

I'm just showing you the Clear it up. No, it's on advert. We've not paid. I think so. No. And yeah.

[A]

There we go. What's this? I've never seen that. Hello, shorty. What are you doing?

[C]

That looks like Gaz in the mornings.

[B]

Of course we've seen that.

[A]

I've never seen that.

[B]

You've never seen it?

[A]

I don't think so, no. Is that bad? Is that bad?

[B]

No, it's not bad. It's more by era, I would say.

[A]

I was also the era of that competitiveness with Manchester United, they were the title winners from the season before, so they were kind of the big games of the day, weren't they?

[B]

Arsenal, Man United, those guys were ferocious, weren't they? I absolutely loved them. Thierry was special, though, because he could make something happen out of nothing. Some of the players in that team, Adams and Vieira, Thierry Henry, even the other players who don't get that much mention, like the Perez's and Youngbirds and all that, what a team that was.

[C]

New Year, same extra value meals at McDonald's.

[B]

So now get two snack wraps, plus.

[C]

Fries and a medium soft drink for.

[A]

Just $8 for a limited time only.

[B]

Prices and participation may vary.

[A]

Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska and California. And for delivery.

[C]

I think if you were to mention Thierry Henry, the two goals that would stand out would be that one and obviously the one past.

[A]

Spurs, which we're going to come to that now. Okay, we're going to come to that.

[C]

Wide.

[A]

Perfect. Another one of the iconic moments of Thierry's career. Now, there could be a break on here. Thierry Henry didn't have much trouble bringing that under control. Always going it alone at the moment. And why not?

[C]

I mean, this for me, just says everything about him, what he could do, which was pretty much everything as a forward, run with the ball, dribble, go past players, score the brilliant volley, as we. We just saw, and then able to do that. Now it's all right running 40 or 50 yards past players, but then you have to do the most important thing, which is put it in the back of the net, and then to have the. The ability to do that.

[A]

And is this celebration from a movie?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

No, that's just his statue, isn't it?

[A]

Statue of him, yeah.

[C]

Correct. Look at that. I mean, to pick the ball up there and have the strength.

[B]

Get off me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah.

[B]

Touch there. Yeah. The extra touch there to get it round.

[C]

I think that's Stephen Carr, if I'm wrong. Yeah, not wrong. He's sort of twisted inside out. See you later.

[A]

Car was parked.

[C]

And then to have the ability to do that, which is the most important thing, by the way.

[A]

You know, it's most impressive for me, though, that he's thought, after he scored that goal, right, I'm going to do this thing that will end up being a statue. Now, that is intelligence, that kind of pose.

[C]

Those two goals for me. I think everyone will look at Thierry and go, that was him. You thinking of another one?

[B]

The Liverpool one?

[C]

Right, okay.

[B]

Where Carragher gets Absolutely roasted.

[A]

Now, funny you should mention.

[B]

This is the one. This is the one here, Henri. Side stepping one, sidestepping two.

[A]

That is brilliant.

[B]

Gets it. See you later. Just look at Cara's body. Lamborghini. He runs into his own player.

[A]

Oh, deary me. Honestly, I like the way that he just sends the defenders about 5 yards the wrong direction.

[B]

What's he doing?

[A]

Talk about getting sent. Watch him here. Watch.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

See ya. And he falls into these other players.

[C]

Brilliant.

[B]

Unbelievable.

[A]

The best in the Premier League history. In the all time.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

He's got to be right at the top, isn't he?

[C]

Yeah, I wouldn't argue with that. Yeah, don't think many people can argue with that.

[B]

I think he's the best all round because don't forget his assists as well. Yeah, I think he wasn't.

[A]

He wasn't just a goal scorer either. I mean he was also a gorgeous footballer. Yeah, in all ways probably. The way he glides past people. He could do. He wasn't, you know, goal scorers. I mean, out and out goal scorer like you were. So he quite got your numbers.

[B]

But he would have done it.

[C]

He could do different things or couldn't he? Yeah, as we've just seen is that he was. The touch and the pace and the.

[B]

Strength would be the best for you, would you say? The best?

[C]

Yeah, I think so. As in all round.

[B]

Yeah, all round. Yourself.

[C]

You can discuss that, not me.

[B]

You know, you didn't make the list.

[A]

What the. Yeah. Wayne Rooney close.

[B]

Oh, Waza. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

You know, different though.

[A]

Well, they're all different and that's the things. Everyone's slightly different in a way, but in terms of someone you to watch impact.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Some player.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That season was the Invincibles. I mean, to go a whole season undefeated in the league is. Is quite extraordinary, isn't it? I mean really is.

[C]

I'm not sure we'll ever see that done again, you know, very difficult.

[A]

I mean, unbelievably difficult.

[C]

I'm not sure.

[A]

Recently in the Bundesliga, didn't it with Lev did a couple years ago, Xabi Alonso's team. But in the Premier League the depth is greater.

[B]

Is it?

[A]

Right the way down. It was an incredible achievement and funnily enough, I think that happened just after they'd gone out of the FA cup and the Champions League, which I think happened in pretty much the same week. You know, all of a sudden you're going from a crisis point to ending up with probably the best season ever. Our fifth moment. It was a back kill against Charlton in 2004, 2005. It's another one to put in the portfolio.

[C]

It's clean through the legs as well.

[A]

[A]

Tough to play against, really. That's the call, is definitely my opinion. The best left back. So when you put all that together, that's why they were unbeaten in that season.

[B]

He was a talisman. Yeah.

The star quality, wasn't he? I mean, Vieira is a different kind of player, but, I mean, he was. He was a leader and a winner, wasn't he? But. But in terms of the flair and the goals and. And the man who makes the difference, I would say Thierry Henry.
