How Thierry Henry's iconic Arsenal flick-and-volley against Man Utd was replicated by a former team-mate in Livingston v Hamilton Accies
It’s not entirely surprising he should choose this player to mimic. They trained together at Arsenal where Emmanuel-Thomas – or JET as he’s more commonly known – came through the academy. Henry took great interest in a player trying to make the breakthrough at the club. In the event, JET only played a handful of first-team games and despite Wenger’s enthusiasm, has ended up having a peripatetic – some would say journeyman – career to date.
He has, however, retained some of what he learned in Henry’s company and he demonstrated this in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Hamilton Accies as Livingston sealed a top six place.
