Crazy Funny Thierry Henry Story

As I approached the entrance to the team's training grounds, I noticed a line of kids standing where members of the press usually gathered. The Red Bulls had invited their academy players to training – and they even had a few playing alongside the senior team. One of those players was 16-year-old striker Amando Moreno. Moreno would eventually be signed to a Homegrown Player contract in 2013, but his first taste of first-team action came on this visit with the academy. Then head coach Hans Backe split his players into five-a-side teams. Moreno was paired with several Red Bulls veterans, including defender Tyler Ruthven. Even at 16, Moreno had a big personality for a small forward and he showed off his skill (and ran his mouth) in the small-sided games. Henry watched on as the academy standout castigated Ruthven for what he considered an errant pass. When Henry's team rotated in to play Moreno's, the Frenchman gave the teenager a lesson he would never forget. When the whistle blew to resume play, Henry made a bee-line for the youngster. Just as Moreno received the ball and turned, Henry plowed into the teenager. The tackle sent Moreno into the air, and he landed face first on the ground. Henry stood up and made his message clear: "Now you learn to keep your mouth shut."

So a man 20 years older than an arrogant teenager knocked him on his arse. If only Jamie Vardy had been there to say, "chat shite get banged."
