ARSENAL icon Thierry Henry almost walked out of the CBS studio after being asked whether he would have played for Tottenham.
The Gunners’ all-time top scorer, 45, was sat alongside fellow former players Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards when presenter Kate Abdo asked if they would have played for their rivals for three times the money.
Carragher refused to ever feature for Everton or Man Utd, while Richards jokingly said he would have taken the offer.
But it was Henry’s answer that attracted the most interest.
And he even hinted that one of Arsenal’s rivals came in for him during his career.
CBS host Abdo asked Henry: “Could you have played for Spurs?”

To which the Arsenal man replied: “Please, I’m leaving. What the heck? I had the opportunity [to play for a rival] and I declined”.
An inquisitive Carragher then pressed him on his response, asking: “Spurs came in for you?”
Henry said “no”, before Carragher continued: “Who came in for you? Man Utd?”
The Arsenal hero, who also played for Monaco, Juventus, Barcelona and New York Red Bulls, then shut down the speculation.

He concluded: “You can say whatever, I won’t say. I’ll say no all the way”.
After winning Ligue 1 with Monaco, Henry joined Arsenal in 1999 and went on to score 226 goals in 369 games, claiming two Premier League titles and two FA Cups.
He then joined Barcelona in 2007 and lifted two LaLiga titles as well as the Champions League.
A lengthy stint at New York Red Bulls brought the curtain down on his career, but not before one short loan spell back at Arsenal where he added two more goals to bring his tally for the Gunners to 228.
Henry also earned 123 caps for France, scoring 51 goals as he helped his country win the 1998 World Cup and European Championships two years later.
