Arsene Wenger had already managed Thierry Henry at Monaco before bringing the striker to Highbury from Juventus in 1999

It proves a prosperous reunion and Henry's disappointing spell in Italy is soon a distant memory as the goals start coming

Henry repays Wenger's tutelage with 22 goals in his second season at Highbury, but silverware still remains elusive

All that changes in 2002 when victory over Chelsea in Cardiff completes a League and Cup double for the Gunners

Domestic dominance is one thing, however, and Arsenal and Henry struggle to repeat that level of success in Europe

Back home, Arsenal retain the FA Cup and finish second in the League in 2003 as Henry's silky finishing lights up the game

Then in 2004, Henry's electrifying form - 39 goals in the season - leads Arsenal to a historic undefeated League title

Henry's part in the Gunners' spectacular League triumph is acknowledged with the 2004 Player of the Year award

Things take a turn for the worse in 2004/5 with injuries, but the Frenchman still manages 30 goals in the season

The goals keep flowing until Henry overtakes Ian Wright's record of 185 to become Arsenal's all-time leading scorer

Henry top scores in the League in 2006 too, but with Arsenal finishing fourth and moving grounds an exit starts to look likely

A Champions League final win would surely keep Henry at Arsenal - but Barcelona come out on top in Paris

With hopes of European glory dashed again, the future looks uncertain but 2007 opens with Henry still in Arsenal colours

And it's business as usual at Arsenal's new ground when Thierry Henry scores the winner against Man Utd in January

Then in June, perhaps sensing more uncertain times ahead for Arsenal, Henry agrees a four-year contract with Barcelona
