Many Arsenal fans were raving over former striker Thierry Henry after the club’s official Twitter account tweeted out his goal against Charlton Athletic back in 2004.
The legendary striker scored a brilliant backheel goal against the Addicks exactly 15 years ago today, with the Gunners winning the game 4-0.

The win over Charlton was the 48th in the club’s record-breaking 49-game unbeaten run.
Henry enjoyed a brilliant time with the north London side, eventually going on to break the club’s all-time goalscoring record, set by Ian Wright, in a Champions League match against Sparta Prague.
Fans were reminiscing over the French striker’s backheel goal in the Premier League game back in 2004 as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the fans of the club:
Get him back here on the coaching staff. Just his presence alone in training will inspire players massively
