Thierry Henry may have thought he was escaping his Hand of Frog scandal by retiring from International Footbal and moving to the Big Apple to join the New York Red Bulls in the MLS.
But he may think again as Irish Pub bosses have declared he is not welcome at their bars, after he cheated the Republic of Ireland out of their place in South Africa. Henry may have thought he would be safe 5,000 Kilometres away but Irish fans are never to far away no matter where you are in the world.
One barwoman raged: “People are still very upset about it. It’s all over the news that he has come to New York. He would definitely be given grief if he tried to come in.”
Another barman at Rosie O’ Grady’s in Times Square said: ” If this guy’s going to cause trouble then he’s outta here. You say he’s a cheat? Oh man, were all into our sports here and thats not OK.”
Maybe Henry’s hand dribbling skills may get him a call up to the NBA but one thing is for sure he will never be forgiven for his cheating by the Irish.
