Football: Top 15 footballers who are/were more famous than their clubs (With Pictures)

9. Thierry Henry – New York Red Bulls

Arguably the greatest player of the Premier League era and both the French national team and Arsenal’s all-time record goal scorer, Thierry Henry is unsurprisingly the biggest name in history to have played for the New York Red Bulls. Founded in 1995 as the MetroStars but known as the NY Red Bulls since 2006, the team based in the big apple are far from titans of the world game. Henry meanwhile was a major coup for the club, a star of the modern game with a worldwide appeal, and was certainly bigger than the club when he signed from Barcelona in 2010.
