Henry is among the ten players who are in contention for this year’s Golden Foot award. The Golden Foot is an international award for players who have made an outstanding career contribution and are aged at least 29.
Thierry Henry’s excellent season with Barça continues to reap its rewards. The French striker is part of an elite group of footballers that have been nominated for the prestigious Golden Foot award for players aged 29+. A Barça player has never won this particular award.
Second nomination
However, this is not the first time Henry has been nominated for the Golden Foot. In 2007 and 2008 his challenge was beaten off by Del Piero (2007) and Roberto Carlos (2008). Previous winners were Ronaldo (2006), Shevchenko (2005), Nedved (2004) and Roberto Baggio (2003).
The other nominees
Thierry Henry will be up against some legendary opponents: Raúl (Madrid), Buffon (Juventus), Totti (Roma), Giggs (Manchester United), Figo (Inter), Trezeguet (Juventus), Ronaldinho (Milan), Beckham (LA Galaxy) and Gerrard (Liverpool).
