    Is this the guy who was in the news in 2009?


    IRISHMAN ARRESTED AND CAUTIONED AFTER HENRY STATUE INCIDENT

    (AP- LONDON) London Metropolitan Police arrested an Irishman outside the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.
    Francis Larkin, from KIlleagh, Roscommon, Ireland staged a protest at the recently-erected statue of French footballer Thierry Henry outside the stadium which is the home ground of Arsenal FC.
    Mr Larkin wrapped an irish tricolour flag around the statue and hung a sign saying "Henry - Not Forgiven, Not Forgotten".
    The sign is believed to refer to the controversial handball incident by Henry which led to a French goal against the Republic of Ireland in November 2009.
    On Monday night, Henry made his second debut for Arsenal, scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 defeat of Leeds United.
    Mr Larkin made the news in 2009 when he protested against the Henry handball incident by soiling French bread in an Irish supermarket, for which he was charged and fined in the local district court.
    Met Spokeswoman Caroline Shrevil said that Mr Larkin was cautioned for his behaviour. "His arrest was for a breach of public order and for endangering himself, as he angered many Arsenal football fans. He is quite a character."

    Stupid muppet, time to move on. When you consider the history of Irish players and Arsenal and that Liam Brady is currently head of the Arsenal academy, it's very inappropriate for anyone from here to stage a protest which involves Arsenal. Thierry Henry wasn't wearing an Arsenal shirt when he handled the ball, it's absolutely nothing to do with the club.

    I hope he isn't going to start emulating that mad priest and keep popping up from time to time making a holy show of us!
