The kids were training three times a week and played at weekends. They knew and liked each other. ’ Palaiseau, however, soon became too small for Thierry or, more to the point, for his father. Panza euphemistically speaks of Tony’s ‘big personal investment’ in his son’s progress and of an ‘unusual environment’. On one occasion, to the great embarrassment of his son, Tony staged a one-man pitch invasion to protest against a refereeing decision. Aside from this incident, which was bad enough in itself, some members of the club’s directorate (and a number of parents whose sons played alongside Thierry) couldn’t countenance the behaviour of Henry’s entourage and felt that its involvement with the team’s affairs was having a detrimental effect on the group as a whole.
In his first – and only – season with Palaiseau, Henry scored on fifty-five occasions, enabling his club to win both regional League and Cup with ease. Not for the last time in his career, Thierry was also fortunate in that his own progress was matched by that of several of his teammates. A number of these later became professionals, one of them, Jonathan Zébina, having a fine career with Cagliari, AS Roma, Juventus and Brescia in Italy’s Serie A. Fittingly, Henry would be on the pitch when the defender earned his solitary cap for France against Sweden in February 2005.
And why were men who had routinely been described as his ‘friends’ proving so reluctant to praise him unequivocally when I spoke to them? Why was there always an element of reserve in their appreciation? I had fond memories of the man myself, but the further I delved into his past, the more these memories appeared to lose their relevance. It’s not that I dug up previously unknown scandals in his quasi-perfect ascent to the top of his profession. Up to the infamous ‘Hand of Gaul’ incident that might well, in the longer term, define him in the collective psyche – far more than the titles and honours he’s coveted and collected so assiduously – Henry’s career had been almost devoid of public controversy.
