Here at Lockerroom, we love our sport… So when an interesting article came out last week about one of the most gifted footballers of the last few years being out of the biggest football competition in the World, then our ears naturally pricked up! Not to mention the fact that the article concerned one of our own clients (but more on that later!).

The headline: “Henry out of World Cup!” was enough to attract our interest. It was Henry after all who “handed” France a place in this summer’s World Cup when he set up William Gallas to score against Ireland in last year’s playoffs. The incident was World news for weeks with Ireland even going as far as asking FIFA for a prestigious 33rd place in South Africa as compensation.
