Nobody can doubt Henry’s passion

THIERRY Henry’s future at Arsenal may be hanging in the balance but after their Champions League disappointment there was no disguising the Frenchman’s burning passion for the club.

After enduring such a defeat as Arsenal’s on Wednesday night, most players would be forgiven for being terse and reticent.

Henry, by contrast, had to almost be dragged onto the coach to the airport, such was the Arsenal skipper’s desire to praise his players, vilify the final referee Terje Hauge and even disparage many of his Barcelona opponents.
