Thierry Henry was branded "arrogant" by Arsenal teammate in row in front of Arsene Wenger

Emmanuel Petit has revealed he once branded legendary Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry "extremely arrogant" after he excessively celebrated a goal at Highbury.

The French pair left a lasting legacy in North London with Henry in particular cementing his place in the Premier League 's hall of fame. The free-scoring forward struck 226 goals in 370 appearances for the Gunners and fired them to several pieces of silverware.

Among his honours at Arsenal, Henry won two Premier League titles - including one as part of the club's revered 'Invincibles' team of 2003-04 - and two FA Cups. To this day, the striker remains one of the greatest to ever have graced the Premier League, however, according to Petit there was a time when Henry needed to be brought down a peg or two.
