Henry had previously selected his Mercurial Vapors for the first few months of the 2005/06 season ( to devastating effect). They looked especially pleasing when paired with the Gunners’ kit that year, a single-season tribute to the club’s kit design from 1913, Arsenal’s first year at Highbury. To this day it’s still the best Arsenal shirt in all my years following the team, and fondly remembered by kit connoisseurs and fans alike. That’s up to me to show every single game and on the training pitch for the manager to decide on the weekend."

On this freezing post-Christmas night at magical old Highbury, against a struggling Portsmouth side, Henry decided to ditch his customary Vapors for a pair of trusty Tiempos instead.
