• Henry poked fun at his co-host Reshmin Chowdhury, who supports Spurs, during his speech
• The Arsenal legend gave a speech after making a joke that he was taking Lionel Messi's award

Thierry Henry won’t be popular with Tottenham Hotspur fans after his speech at FIFA's the Best awards.

The former French international trolled the London-based side during the event, making a joke about their lack of trophies.

What did Henry say?

Henry, one of the hosts of the awards evening, poked fun at the side of his co-host, Reshmin Chowdhury, after Lionel Messi won the Best Men’s award.

The Argentinian wasn’t present at the awards to receive his prize, so Henry offered to claim it on his behalf.

Henry joked that he had never won the award before and so would claim it as his own. He then took a shot at Ange Postecoglou’s side and his co-host.

Why did Henry pick on Tottenham?

A legend of Arsenal Football Club, Henry is no stranger to battling Spurs.

The Gunners and Tottenham are north London rivals, and so banter between the two is to be expected. Henry joined Arsenal in 1999 and spent eight successful years with the team before joining Barcelona in 2007.

As noted by Transfermarkt, he scored 228 goals in 377 appearances for the Gunners. He also notched up 103 assists for the side.
