20 years on: Henry becomes our greatest goalscorer

On October 18, 2005, we travelled to Prague for a Champions League clash that would go down in history as the moment Thierry Henry became our all-time leading goalscorer.

The French forward was sitting just one goal behind the legendary Ian Wright before our game against Sparta Prague, but having missed the last seven games with a groin injury, few had pencilled in our trip to the Czech capital as the night for Thierry to write his name into the record books.

However, a double befitting of the forward's ability meant we walked away with more than just three points that night.
