Certainly, one with maybe the most swagger while striding across the field.Henry, who went a whole Premier League campaign unbeaten with Arsenal in 2003-04 season, is one of the greatest strikers to have ever graced the English top-flight, netting a staggering 175 goals in 258 appearances.The 44-year-old also has a World Cup winner’s medal and European Championship title with France to his name in what has was a trophy-laden career as a player. Premier League great and World Cup winner is currently assistant head coach with the Belgium national team.Origi says yes to Milan move from LiverpoolAnd with all those accolades, Henry faced quite a rude awakening which made him realize that times and idols are changing as time passes.While leaving the hotel with the Belgian team in Dublin, Ireland, the Frenchman was approached by a youngster.And as many times before, Henry prepared himself for posing with a fan. But little did he expect – the young man was not interested in a memento with Henry – but with Liverpool hero Divock Origi.Henry appears to stop briefly to help the fan with his request but was hilariously snubbed for Kenyan rooted Belgian.While the budding fan got his wish of a picture with the Liverpool striker – a red-faced Henry continued on his way down the stairs of the hotel. @darko743 wait till the end 🔥 #premierleague #football #foryoupage #liverpool #origi #goal #chelseafc ♬ original sound – Darko Both Henry and Origi have both gone on to win the Champions League in their careers – however, the two have gone on to make their marks in hugely different ways.

His time at Merseyside is allegedly nearing its end as Origi seems quite close to signing for AC Milan in the upcoming transfer window.
