Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has revealed he once ripped into Thierry Henry for his 'extremely arrogant attitude' during a match at Highbury.

Henry cemented a legacy as one of the greatest Premier League players of all time during his iconic stint with the Gunners, scoring 226 goals in 370 appearances while winning two top-flight titles and as many FA Cups.

He also played a crucial role in their famous 2003/04 Invincibles triumph, in which they became champions without losing a single game that season.
