Thierry Henry order of the boot
THIERRY Henry has had enough problems recently, with his infamous handball against Ireland and a not-altogether-successful run with club or country.
So he would hardly have been impressed when his boots were accidentally impounded at customs.
What fans did not know in the build-up to the France-Uruguay game, was that police were making a dramatic dash across Cape Town to reunite Henry with his boots – a member of the city’s so-called “ghost squad” screeching his way to the stadium and arriving an hour before kick-off.
It is unclear why the boots were impounded, but even with them Henry could not break the deadlock when he went on a substitute.
