William Gallas has never shrunk from a confrontation but it must have been a surprise for the Irish fans to see the man who scored France's equaliser board the Eurostar to St Pancras.
First he reached out his arm and kept the ball in play with a firm pat. Then his hand gave the ball another flick before passing, controversially with his foot, to William Gallas to score the extra-time goal that put France into the World Cup finals and knocked out the Republic of Ireland.

Thierry Henry at Customs control at Dublin Airport Better late than never some may say (although perhaps better he owned up to his handball at the time) but Thierry Henry has apologised for his handball during the World Cup playoff between France and the Republic of Ireland.

Likeable, genuine and probably the best player the Premier League has seen. These are the words I would have used to describe Thierry Henry before Wednesday night’s crucial World Cup play-off between France and Republic Of Ireland. Now he is being branded a cheat after blatantly handling the ball before teeing up William Gallas to score [...]
Ireland has failed in its bid to have their World Cup play-off against France replayed, the Football Association of Ireland recognised in a statement issued on Saturday. Ireland had appealed to football's world governing body FIFA and to the French Football Federation (FFF) to have the second leg of the play-off replayed because of Thierry Henry's handball in the build-up to William Gallas's decisive...
