A Quote by Matteo Guendouzi

Growing up, I watched other teams, and I fell in love with Arsenal. I wasn't really interested in posters, but I saw many, many videos. Players like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira made me love the club, and I dreamt of going there.

Arsenal are a special club for many French supporters. I watched them a lot, especially during the 'Invincible' era when they had Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Sylvain Wiltord, and Robert Pires.

Dimitri Payet

People talk about the history of Manchester United or Liverpool, but look what Arsenal achieved with the team of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

Kaka

Arsenal will always come first. You name them - Henry, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp. People saw these stars shine, and they thought: 'Is there life after Vieira, Pires or Bergkamp?'. But look at what happens here. At Arsenal, you always see young, fresh talent grow into the same role as those stars who have left. Other players have replaced them.

Robin Van Persie

Throughout my childhood, and thanks to Arsenal's former striker Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club, so that dream has been fulfilled.

Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal showed the door to too many people. Why did they let Thierry Henry go? When I found out about his move I realised the Arsenal I played for were finished.

Freddie Ljungberg

I liked Thierry Henry. I watched Arsenal so much on TV.

Chris Smalling

You look at Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit at Arsenal or Roy Keane at Man United, and they are players that can do everything.

Jamie Redknapp

I really liked watching Thierry Henry and Zidane, especially Henry in his Arsenal days.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Fans should remember Thierry Henry when he joined Arsenal. He didn't score much before becoming an icon of this club.

Robert Pires

At Arsenal me and Patrick (Vieira) didn't want to face Scholes. We would avoid him.

Emmanuel Petit

At the academy the coaches would show us Arsenal games on TV and my idol was Thierry Henry. He inspired me. That's why I became an Arsenal fan.

Gervinho

When I came to Arsenal years ago, I saw things from Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry I'd never seen before.

Robin Van Persie

I never really watched much stand-up growing up. I just was not really that into it. But I can say I honestly fell in love with it the second I touched the microphone. It was like this weird thing where it's like, 'Oh, yeah, this is what I'm supposed to do.'

I fell in love with skateboarding because it was individual; there were no teams, there were no captains, there was nothing to perfect. No style that had to be measured. It was completely opposite of what I saw in so many sports. It was creative. And to this day, that's what I love, that's always kept me back to it because it's endless creation.
