Thierry Henry in tears at Arsenal statue unveiling

Henry cries at Arsenal anniversary

Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry broke down in tears at the unveiling of three statues at the Emirates Stadium on Friday afternoon.

A statue of the French forward was erected along with two more monuments of former manager Herbert Chapman and former captain Tony Adams to commemorate the club's 125th anniversary.

"I don't really show emotions, but there you go," said Henry. "I'm showing emotion now for the club I love."

The 34-year-old scored 226 goals in an eight-year spell with the North London side.
