| Description: | Select Guide Rating The definitive biography of the Arsenal, France and Barcelona legend. <p><b>‘Illuminated by finely turned phrases and vivid insights’ - Richard Williams, <i>Guardian</i> Sports Books of the Year.</b><br><br> Thierry Henry – gifted, charismatic and a genuinely world-class footballer – has passed into Arsenal legend as the hero of a team that finally ended Manchester United’s dominance. But as he approached the autumn of his career, Thierry’s crown began to slip – from the infamous ‘Hand of Gaul’ incident to a dismal World Cup 2010 campaign. Suddenly, a player who Arsene Wenger once dubbed ‘the greatest striker ever’, a man who had spent his career at the very top of the game, began to learn how lonely such a position could be.<br><br> Drawing from numerous interviews and impeccable sources, as well as his own observations over the course of Henry’s entire career, award-winning author Philippe Auclair has produced the most complete portrait of the Arsenal hero ever to be written. Clear-eyed, lyrical and passionately argued, <i>Thierry Henry: Lonely at the Top</i> is as raw, shocking and thought-provoking as it is celebratory of Henry’s outstanding flair and talent.</p> |
