THE STORY BEHIND THE SHIRT

Wearing the number 12 for France, Henry paid tribute to his childhood idol Marco van Basten, who also wore the number 12 during his international career. A subtle but meaningful connection between two legendary strikers who inspired generations of football fans.

This France 2007/08 shirt represents a significant chapter in Thierry Henry's illustrious international career. Having established himself as France's all-time leading goalscorer at the time, the legendary striker was one of the most recognisable figures in world football, renowned for his blistering pace, intelligent movement and clinical finishing. Following his instrumental role in France's triumph at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and EURO 2000, Henry entered EURO 2008 as one of the experienced leaders of a talented French squad. Despite a difficult tournament, in which France were eliminated in the group stage, Henry made history by scoring France's only goal of the competition in a 4-1 defeat to the Netherlands. The tournament marked the end of an era for a generation of French players who had enjoyed considerable success on the international stage. Featuring the official EURO 2008 patch, this shirt captures a memorable period in French football and the legacy of a striker who scored 51 goals in 123 appearances for Les Bleus. A special piece celebrating one of the greatest French footballers of all time.
