On The Big Occasion, Thierry Henry Fails To Meet His Own High Standards
11/19/2009
B/R World Football Writer of the Year 2008.
Former B/R Staff Editor
Now B/R World Football Team Leader
I am both a history (BA) and journalism (MA) graduate, which is only impressive when you consider they are just about the only combination of degrees that guarantee you won't get a job in the current economic climate.
Nevertheless, I hope to one day make it as a sports journalist of the highest level. If nothing else, a man can dream.
I spent over a year as a Staff Editor here at Bleacher Report, responsible for editing contributions and polishing articles for the World Football and Cricket sections of the site. I'm now Team Leader for the World Football section, trying to assist the ever-growing ranks of Featured Columnists with article ideas and advice.
I am trying to make a living from journalism, and currently work for various publications including Goal.com UK and the Daily Mail. I've also had my work published on sites including Fox Sports, CBSSports, and the Los Angeles Times online.
If you like my work on those sites, or right here on B/R, please don't hesitate to get in contact — I am always looking for further job opportunities.
After a brief sabbatical, I'm aiming to be back contributing regular articles to this website.

Hey,
Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!

Hey,
After what is being called 'the greatest injustice in sport', the question is, what on earth is FIFA doing?

Alex, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.

Remember that article I was promising you about Pele?
