Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has revealed he once ripped into Thierry Henry for his 'extremely arrogant attitude' during a match at Highbury.
Henry cemented a legacy as one of the greatest Premier League players of all time during his iconic stint with the Gunners, scoring 226 goals in 370 appearances while winning two top-flight titles and as many FA Cups.
He also played a crucial role in their famous 2003/04 Invincibles triumph, in which they became champions without losing a single game that season.
Nevertheless, Petit has opened up on the time he felt Henry crossed the line while celebrating a goal for Arsenal at Highbury.
The Frenchman, who played with Henry in north London from 1997-2000, told RMC about his compatriot: 'I had a conversation with Titi [Henry] in front of Arsene Wenger when we were playing for Arsenal.
'There were five of us at a sponsor's event, together with Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira.
'We had played a few days before, I think at Highbury, and Titi had scored twice.
'I hadn't liked his celebration one little bit. He had gone over to the corner flag, with an extremely arrogant attitude. I told him that myself and some of the other players didn't like the way he celebrated.
'He understandably didn't take what I said at all well. But it was all too much as far as I was concerned.
'I challenged Arsene, and told him it wasn't my job to tell Henry off - instead it was down to him.'
Petit and Henry clinched a Premier League and FA Cup double together in the 1997/98 campaign, while also winning the World Cup with France at the end of that season.
After leaving Arsenal in 2000, Petit spent a season with Barcelona and three years with Chelsea before bringing the curtain down on his career.
