On August 3rd 1999, Arsenal competed the signing of Thierry Henry from Juventus, as he became the Gunners' record signing for a fee of £11m.
His introduction to the media saw Henry join Arsene Wenger on the Highbury turf to hold aloft the number 14 shirt, with which he would become synonymous.
The French forward had only joined Juventus earlier that year, but he struggled to settle in Turin, where he scored just three goals in 20 league appearances, featuring primarily on the left side of midfield.
Wenger, who had previously worked with Henry at Monaco, was aware of the talent the 21-year-old possessed and pounced on the opportunity to sign the skilful attacker.
