Henry can forgive but ‘will never forget’

THIERRY Henry insisted he could “forgive but never forget” Spain coach Luis Aragones’ racist slur as he revealed how it had prompted him to launch a Europe-wide anti-racism campaign.

Henry said he would be prepared to meet Aragones, who was filmed using a racist term to describe the Arsenal striker during a Spain training session last year. However, he still cannot believe the Spain coach’s comments, warning the “game was suffering” because of the enduring racism problem in some countries.

“It makes me think of a proverb - you can always forgive but I will never forget,” he said.
