One year on and Henry still has no pangs of guilt

JUST a few weeks shy of the one-year anniversary of one of the most painful nights in Irish sporting history, Thierry Henry has again insisted he feels no sorrow over his villainous hand ball in Paris.

November 18 will mark 12 months since the infamous World Cup qualifying play-off second leg at the Stade de France when the former Arsenal and Barcelona hero decided the fate of Giovanni Trapattoni’s side by twice using his hand to send Ireland crashing out.

The enigmatic frontman, who now plies his trade with the New York Red Bulls in the US’s Major League Soccer, has pointed an accusing finger at Ireland captain Robbie Keane, incorrectly arguing that it was also a year since the Ireland skipper won a dubious penalty during a group stage qualifying victory over Georgia.
