Thierry Henry. A contentious and topical subject if ever there was one.
Whilst the footballing world today recoils in disgust at the actions of the France captain, there
are plenty of misguided Arsenal fans who will be lightning quick to shout you down if you dare as
to utter a derogatory comment.

The U10 lads are in a bit of a slump as it turns out. Last weeks loss and yesterday a 5-3 loss. Now
the lads are 4w's and 3l's with no D's. It was one of those games that didn't auger well - the

take part of it on the chin.

With torrents of cash flying back-and-forth through the now completely shattered and bent-framed
European transfer window, it's nice to remember a time when print journalists could secure the
services of knighted football players for travel, room and board, and about $125 a week. In Toronto
in 1961, soccer was the sport of immigrants.
