Thierry Henry and Fergie are in full awkward small-talk mode at Wimbledon

Legends.

Will Slattery

The ice has thawed, but maybe not melted entirely.

Arsenal and Manchester United had a very hostile rivalry throughout most of the 00’s, with Thierry Henry and Alex Ferguson at the forefront of their regular contests. Both men have retired from football now, and are enjoying the fruits of their massive bank accounts at Centre Court today for Andy Murray’s Wimbledon semi-final against Roger Federer.

Whoever did up the seating chart obviously wanted to put the two legends together, and after an early embrace, they appear to have ran out of things to talk about.

Fergie probably wishes Sean Connery was with him like at Murray’s first Grand Slam win in New York in 2012.
