Arsenal star Henry admits being Liverpool-mad
tribalfooball.com - September 22, 2006

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry admits if he couldn't play for the Gunners, he'd love to play for Liverpool alongside Steven Gerrard.

"A kid asked me on Wednesday if I would have liked to play for another team," the Arsenal and France striker said yesterday. "Straight away I said Liverpool.

"First of all, I would have loved to play with Steven Gerrard and second I like the club and their fans. There's something about Anfield that you can't explain.

"I love it when you step out of the dressing-room and you see the Kop, the scarves, and [hear people] singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Just that, that would do it for me.

"Obviously it can never happen because I love Arsenal too much. There can never be a possibility of playing anywhere else in England."

Henry was speaking at the launch of the Impact Art initiative for the Willow Foundation, the charity set up by Bob Wilson, the former Arsenal goalkeeper, that arranges special activities for seriously ill young adults.

Henry has donated the �27,000 prize for winning last season's Golden Boot to the foundation and his artwork will be auctioned.

Many players even rivals like Henry really likes Anfield/Liverpool. At least he has no problems to say the truth.
