Carlo Cudicini has named Ruud van Nistelrooy as the toughest Premier League opponent he faced during his career and admitted to being scared of Thierry Henry.
The former goalkeeper made 161 Premier League appearances across 13 seasons for Chelsea and Tottenham. During his time at Stamford Bridge he won two FA Cup’s, two Football League Cup’s and the community shield.
Despite his achievements, Cudicini said he would always be weary of Van Nistelrooy as his ability to be in the right place at the right time made him 'special'.
