Ex-Arsenal defender Lauren celebrates Henry after ‘well-deserved’ induction into Premier League Hall of Fame

Former Cameroon and Arsenal right-back Lauren has described Thierry Henry’s induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame as a ‘well-deserved’ recognition.

Henry and Alan Shearer became the inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame on Monday, thanks to their outstanding records in the English top-flight during their playing days.

Shearer remains the Premier League's all-time top scorer with 260 goals in 441 games across 14 seasons for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United while Henry won the Premier League's Golden Boot a record four times and scored 175 league goals in 258 appearances for Arsenal - the most scored by a player in the club's history.
