A lethal striker, he became Arsenal&#8217;s record goal scorer with 228 goals across all competitions, claiming a record four Golden Boots in England&#8217;s top division alongside two league titles and three FA Cups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Henry also turned out for Monaco, Juventus and Barcelona &#8211; securing a historic treble with the Catalan giants in 2009 &#8211; before ending his playing days in the United States with New York Red Bulls.
