Dan James against Brentford in the FA Cup - not the greatest of stages, but sizzling run.

No wonder Leeds and Bielsa was furious about not getting him

Now that is quick. Thierry / young Feo / young Bellerin quick. I’m impressed.

Good ol' kick and run goal. Impressive.

Not sure if you’re being a flobaba, but you do know many of Henry’s goals were of the good ol kick and run variety. Pace is a vital commodity for a forward /any player. We don’t even score those types of goals against none premier league teams nowadays despite having Aubameyang who is supposed to be one of the quickest out there.

I'm definitely not being flobby. His top speed is very impressive.

Auba isn't really fast, just used to be.

Oh look, an excuse to post this goal:

I love that goal so much. Zanetti was the fastest fullback in Europe at the time too, and Henry stops and lets him catch up, and then embarrasses him again just because he found his constant shirt-tugging annoying.

Honestly one of my favourite goals of all time. Such a display of power and skill.

He only tips over Zidane, Ronaldo, Guti and three Real defenders with that run.

I think the studio had invited Michael Laudrup for that game, and he kept talking about Real Madrid and their history and how great they are and how Arsenal wouldn't stand a chance now with Vieira gone, and then they switched to the second half and Henry immediately does that. I almost wished the camera had stayed in the studio.

How easy he made that look. Smh. We need world class players again.

Meh, big game bottler.

this goal is a joke. the awareness and skill to put it all together.

I've always loved how he realised he needed to get the ball up because they were closing in behind him and had the audacity to chip it in with his backheel.
