Ahead of the game Henry was asked whether he will miss the ground, which sounds like a pretty odd questions considering it is home to Arsenal’s bitter rivals.
But Henry was quick to provide an answer, and perhaps rather surprising revealed he WILL miss the ground – but for a pretty brilliant reason.
