“Emotions are emotions, just don’t become it. Anger is normal (just don’t become angry); jealousy is normal, just don’t become jealous..” Thierry Henry

Thierry Henry is not only one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game but also incredibly introspective and eloquent in his second language. It’s fascinating that beneath the veneer of confidence which some perceive as arrogance there is always a sense of pain and self-doubt

Your ability to get guys like Thierry who have never spoke like this before to speak their mind and about their troubles is incredible, great work, great podcast👍🏻

‘I want to be remembered’ - You’re adored beyond words Thierry, coming from a Spurs fan. Thank you both.

As a Caribbean person, as a football fan: this was the interview of the century. Thanks to everyone who made this possible and all the best to you, Thierry.

I was avoiding watching this because I knew how gut wrenching it would be. Eventually watched it, and it was as I expected. Had a little cry as it forced me to also look at how I grew up. I didn't have an unhappy childhood. Far from it, but as Thierry says, the affection was absent. It's insane how many people grow up without ever hearing "I love you" from their parents. My father died when I was 13 and I never heard him say it once, and he never hugged me. I was in my 30s when I heard it from my mother for the first time. Perhaps it's one of the hardships of growing up in a country that had just gone through apartheid. Gut wrenching interview that forces one to look more on the inside. As a United fan, I never liked Thierry. Had a lot of respect for him, but I never liked him. I love the dude now.

My mom absolutely loves Thierry & that's how I was baptised an Arsenal fan. By far this is one of the best interviews I've watched in a while; His authenticity, self awareness & ability to recognize that his dad did the best he could with the tools that he had instead of blaming him was something else. 😊
