Matty Taylor played for Portsmouth that day and he spoke very highly about Henry's performance.

“He fully deserved it [the applause],” Taylor said, per talkSPORT.

“Football fans have a great affinity to their own club but sometimes you just need to applaud brilliance and that evening they were well within their rights to give that gesture.

“Thierry was unplayable. It was just a shame that I was at left back and he kept drifting over to my side.

“And that night, we just couldn’t stop him.

“I have never been that sort of guy to ask opposition players for their shirts after games, unless I know them. But I do look back now, especially in that game.

“Just think of all the names I would have hung up around my house!”
