"Thierry Henry tried to make me join Arsenal" Carlos Tevez

Carlos Tevez could have been an Arsenal player if he had listened to Thierry Henry. The Gunners legend could not understand why Argentina international Tevez spent so much time on bench when he first arrived at West Ham in 2006.

Tevez, who had a season at Upton Park before joining Manchester United and then moving to Eastlands earlier this year, told the Daily Mirror: "When I was left on the bench at West Ham and we were playing Arsenal, Thierry Henry bumped into me in the car park afterwards"'.

He said, "hey, what are you doing here? Come and play with us - its incredible that you can't get a game in this team".
