Legs 11

It seems Thierry Henry was just returning the compliment.

Following his hilarious reaction to Brendan Rodgers’ sacking on Sky Sports, Henry’s right hand this week almost gained the same level of infamy as the left one did a few years back after some incident in Paris.

Writing in his Daily Mail column today Jamie Carragher claims he wasn’t aware of the Frenchman’s attentions, but admitted that he had grabbed Henry’s leg during their first appearance on screen together.

“I seem to have become an internet sensation this week after Thierry Henry touched my leg on Sky when we found out Brendan Rodgers had been sacked. I wasn’t really aware of it at the time, I was just in shock at the news. But by the time I got home, everyone was sending round videos of it and having a good laugh.

“But I have a confession to make: the first time Thierry and I were on TV together, I grabbed his leg! So maybe he was just returning the favour.”

It’s all very cosy in the Sky studio. Cosy and ripe for comedy.
