Arsenal legend Thierry Henry insists he WASN'T 'obsessed' with beating Ruud van Nistelrooy to the Premier League Golden Boot after it was revealed the Manchester United star sulked every time his rival scored

Thierry Henry says he was not obsessed with beating Ruud van Nistelrooy to the Premier League Golden Boot after it was revealed the Manchester United striker used to sulk when his rival scored.

Henry and Van Nistelrooy were the most prolific strikers in England during the Arsenal and Manchester United rivalry of the early 2000's with each competing to be the division's top scorer.

The United striker's former team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes recently spoke about how determined the Dutchman was to claim the golden boot, revealing he used to check if his rival had scored straight after finishing his own game.
