Talk:Thierry Henry

Sources

While reverting the removal of Clairefontaine I found this Telegraph article which might be useful to cite. I would actually recommend that the article move away from using goal.com as a source, and perhaps jockbio too. It's merely a fact checking matter, but I'm 100% certain that the goal.com information can be found in better and more informative sources, and perhaps a couple of inaccuracies may be ironed out in the process.

Yup, probably a ref at a time. Chensiyuan (talk) 14:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

All-time English Premiership goal-scorers

From the article:
"Henry is currently third in the list of all-time English Premiership goal-scorers, behind Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.".
How about mentioning the #goals for each, and perhaps the #years it took to achieve this? Shearer and Cole played for ~16 years, while Henry did this in 9 years (If not mistaken). Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 12:03, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

2005 FA Cup final

People keep editing this to be wrong. With the FA Cup, only players involved in the final (the starting XI and named substitutes) get receive medals regardless of whether or not they have been involved in the previous rounds. This is unlike the Champions League where every member of the official CL squad for the season gets one. Henry therefore DID NOT get a medal in 2005, as Robert Pires DID NOT get a medal in 2002 when he missed the final due to his serious knee injury.

Can you find a source to back this up? The rules at the moment states that 25 medals are given to the winning team for players and staff. They say nothing about having to have been involved in the final to get one. srushe (talk) 08:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Archived

Just a heads up to say that I archived all the old talk. Was surprised to see a GA review still hanging around! Hope no one minds. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{WIKIPROJECT ATHLETICS NEEDS YOU!} 21:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Career statistics

I was looking at Barcelona FC website. Their statistic for Henry is different than the one here. I've notice that the current statistic is from soccernet.espn.go.com . I went to UEFA official website and La Liga official website. They have the same statistic as Barcelona FC official website. Here are the link if anyone want to take a look

Uh oh. I just notice that UEFA website gives Henry 3 assists for the 2008-09 Champions League but Barca website only give him 2. Beside that, everything else looks the same. Anyone want to weight in? Elsonlam1 (talk) 00:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Probably should decide on one source for easier referencing purposes. Chensiyuan (talk) 01:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

What about the friendly games with France? The goals we have listed here are just for the competitive games and not for the friendlies. Other players, like Nicolas Anelka, have the friendly goals included.--Janisterzaj (talk) 16:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Assists Statistics

Some of those stats are wrong. For instance I know for a fact from watching videos that Henry had more than 1 assist in the Champions League in 02/03. If I wanted to change it would I need to provide a corroborative source, or is my own testimony enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.4.83 (talk) 23:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The former. Chensiyuan (talk) 02:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Right, is a youtube video a good enough source? Renoog (talk) 02:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The keys to citing sources in Wikipedia are found in WP:RS and WP:verifiability. Once you've read these, you can make the call as to whether youtube is suitable in this instance. Chensiyuan (talk) 06:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Man of the Match Award

Henry was not MOTM against Italy in the Euro 2000 final. Francesco Totti was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.41.60 (talk) 11:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Simply following the ref. You've got a ref? Chensiyuan (talk) 13:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Career stat total

Why is it that whenever I try to affix a career stat total to the stat box it gets erased? Club appearances, goals, and assists totals are included but a cumulative total is not. What is the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.201.151.50 (talk) 22:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Because nobody ever updates the totals regularly, causing a lot of counterproductivity. Chensiyuan (talk) 02:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Castrol Rankings

Should we include the Castrol Rankings in this article and on other football players articles who are ranked high up?

Henry's handball against Rep. Ireland

On 18th Nov 2009 in extra time in the the World Cup qualifier against Rep. Ireland Henry controversially handled the ball twice in quick succession in the penalty area to control it before passing the ball to William Gallas who tapped the ball in sending France to the World Cup in South Africa.
