The 21-year-old winger, who was at Rangers as a youth player before moving St. Mirren, has revealed on Twitter that growing up, Henry had the biggest influence on him.

Football legend

Henry is one of the greatest footballers of all time and is a Premier League legend, and the former Arsenal striker’s performances and achievements at Barcelona were not bad either.

Now the assistant manager of the Belgium national football team, Henry is one of the greatest strikers to have ever featured in the Premier League.

The 40-year-old won the Premier League striker twice with Arsenal, the La Liga twice and the Champions League once with Barcelona, and the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000 with France.
