Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney has picked out Thierry Henry and Henrik Larsson as his favourite players of all time, paying homage to legends of his current and former club.
The 22-year-old arrived at Arsenal as a summer signing from Celtic last year, the only two teams he has played for in his professional career to date.
Despite plying his trade at left-back for the Bhoys, Gunners and the Scotland national team, Tierney holds up two strikers as his footballing idols.
The Scot was asked on a Reddit AMA who his favourite player of all time is, to which he replied: ‘That’s hard…
‘For Celtic it would be Henrik Larsson. I think he would be every Celtic fan’s hero.
‘And when I was younger I always loved Thierry Henry too. He was always the reason I’d watch Match of the Day and stuff like that.’
Tierney has been out of action since December with a dislocated shoulder suffered in a Premier League win over West Ham, but is nearing a return to full fitness and hopes to be ready to play when football returns after the coronavirus hiatus.
The young defender is stuck at home like the rest of the country at the moment and was also asked about his lockdown repeat while he waits for the call to return to training.
‘My routine is that I get up at 10, have a bit of breakfast which is usually scrambled eggs, ham and a slice of toast and then training from 11 to half 12 before lunch at 1,’ Tierney explained.
‘Then a few hours of PlayStation, dinner in a couple of hours and then a couple of hours PlayStation again. And repeat repeat repeat!’
