I use to look on Thierry Henry as a giant in the world of sport. He seemed to embody all the attributes of the 'gentleman footballer'-debonair, chic, knowledgeable about so many topics, always so calm and elegant in the heat of the fierce battles that took place on the playing fields of Europe and beyond.

It was supposed to be a win-win situation for the French. either the national team went to the football World Cup or they got rid of their quixotic, error-prone coach Raymond Domenech. Instead, they've snatched the worst of all worlds, going to South Africa as cheat, unworthy of their place through the actions of their captain, Thierry Henry, who now does not deserve one last hurrah as the great technical...
