Henry has been heavily criticised for his handball that put France through to the World Cup. However, there have been many players and managers that have leapt to the defence of the French striker after he was branded a 'cheat'.
Gary Neville has now had his say on the matter, going on to say talk about the ever-growing debate about video technology.
“There is no doubt that Thierry Henry handled the ball before crossing for William Gallas to score the goal that sent France to the World Cup and left Ireland's dream in tatters,” wrote the Red Devil.
"[But] to label Henry a cheat is wrong.
"Everyone who has played football will know that when the ball comes up at your side, your arm can come out instinctively.
"We have all done things in football matches in the heat of the moment that we have regretted later. The referee has to spot these things."
He added, “When there is a contentious goal, bad foul or penalty incident then the game is stopped for a period of time anyway, so a video replay could be looked at.
“I said a few weeks ago that video technology has helped rugby and cricket; it is inevitable that it will be introduced in football one day.”
