Thierry Henry took time to settle in the Premier League but once he did there was no stopping him.
Arsenal's record 228-goal scorer took the top-flight by storm, becoming a two-time Premier League winner, after a initial slow start following a £12million move from Juventus.
Already a World Cup winner, he failed to score in his first eight games for the club but after his first strike in the 1-0 win over Southampton in September 1999 he never looked back, ending the season with 26 goals.
