Under appreciated by young fans?(under 20 or so)

I’ve noticed some young (Ronaldo) fans who call Henry a “Pace Merchant” or that he only had pace and was a average striker etc… usually between the ages of 10-13/14

Is Thierry Henry becoming under rated recently? Or is this just noise from CR7 or Tottenham Fanboys.

    People appreciate players that they can often see, nothing new tbh.

    For example we can never appreciate how excellent, say, George Best, compared to Antony which is the best player ever

    Henry, for his time at Arsenal, was greatly like Kane at Spurs. IMHO

    United fan since mid 90s and even though I hated him because he was in Arsenal, it was an absolute joy to watch him play… very few football players have a legacy that plays through generations and across the world… Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Zidane and maybe 8-10 more that I’m too lazy to type here… beyond them, the other players will have a legacy that carries on within their clubs and some others that last through the generation of fans that watched them and that’s it. You can’t get upset because some kids who’ve been watching the game for five years don’t appreciate sometime that they didn’t even watch playing

    Thierry Henry was the best kind of arrogant - there were times when he made the game took effortless
