The Frenchman was asked on Sky Sport’s Monday Night Football which current or former player he wished he could have played with, to which he replied: “Paul Scholes”.
Henry’s answer prompted Gary Neville, who names Scholes as the best footballer he ever played with, to point towards his co-pundit Jamie Carragher and say: “Tell him that as well!”
Neville and Carragher famously had a lengthy discussion about Scholes, Gerrard and Frank Lampard and where the trio ranked in terms of their greatness. They ended that particular show by agreeing to disagree.
Carragher, on this occasion, said to Henry: “You thought Scholes was better than Steven Gerrard?”
HENRY: SCHOLES WAS BETTER THAN GERRARD
Henry replied: “I was just about to say, the next one would have been *right* behind - very close - Stevie G.
“I have to go with Paul Scholes, and I love Stevie G, but I have to go with Paul Scholes.
“Paul Scholes was just ahead in his head, he was making [Manchester United] tick. Every time we [Arsenal] played them we needed to find a way to stop him.”
Neville could barely contain his smile while Henry was speaking, clearly delighted that Henry had picked Scholes over Carragher’s former Liverpool teammate Gerrard.
Liverpool supporters, like Carragher, will hate the fact Henry rates Scholes as a better player than Gerrard.
