Norwich pair Todd Cantwell and Adam Idah have named Arsenal hero, Thierry Henry as their all-time favourite footballer, ahead of Saturday’s clash between the two sides.
The two Canaries players were speaking to the club’s Official Shirt Sleeve Partner, JD, when they were asked who their favourite player of all time was.
Both Cantwell and Idah were aligned on their opinion and picked Arsenal record goalscorer, Henry.
Midfielder Cantwell, 24, said: “My favourite all-time player would probably be Thierry Henry.
“I just watched him as a kid a lot and I idolised him a little bit, yeah I would say it was him.”
While forward Idah, 20, added: “I’ve probably got to pick Thierry Henry I think growing up watching him he was just a great player and all-round good footballer.”
The game on Saturday will be hosted by the Gunners at Emirates Stadium – an arena that Cantwell also admitted is “top class”
The England U-21 international said: “My favourite away ground is probably the Emirates Stadium just because the pitch is so good.
“There is so much quality in the changing rooms and everything, I just think it’s top class.”
