THIERRY - 'The Fierry'

Like in a galaxy of million star, He's the brightest known so far; He's changed the dimensions of the game, Guess what, Thierry Henry is his name!

When he runs a cheetah is left far behind, When he turns he may boggle up your mind; And when he delivers a free kick, Believe me, the goalkeeper feels sick!

Be it Arsenal or be it France, He will never give his opponents a chance; He flicks the ball to his teammate, And that's a goal, it's my bet!

The world lies beneath his two feet, When he plays you can feel the heat; If you wanna watch him at his peak, Do tune in to Premiership this week!

PPS: Can everyone please share their views on what they think of TH14? Please!?
