Today is Arsene Wenger’s 70th birthday so it seems a good time to look back at some of his best players.

Thierry Henry

Author of some of the most beautiful goals (and Renault averts) in Arsenal history, Henry brought a touch of French flair and coolness to the Emirates and won two premier league titles, three FA Cups, five Player of the Year awards, four Golden Boots and a total goal tally of 228.

Even Henry’s transition from player to manager had his customary flair. Rather than start small, as most new managers do, Henry built his experience as the assistant coach of the Belgium national team. He then went on to become the manager of Monaco, which is a place synonymous with high-profile sport, from the Monaco Grand Prix to the most glamorous stop on the EPT (European Poker Tour).
