THIERRY Henry has apologized for swearing at an Arsenal fan after his side's 2-3 Premier League defeat at Swansea on Sunday. Henry admitted losing his temper when an Arsenal supporter insulted him at Liberty Stadium.
"I was really shocked and disappointed on Sunday, and not just at the result," Henry told Britain's Sun newspaper. "After the final whistle of a very tricky game, I insisted the whole team go and applaud the Arsenal supporters.
"When I arrived in front of our own fans, I couldn't understand the abuse the team were getting from one of them. I wanted to tell the fan in question that we need their support not abuse. The sentiment was right but in hindsight could have been better expressed.
"So I would like to first and foremost apologize for using inappropriate language to that particular 'supporter'.
"I didn't intend to be malicious or threatening and am aware that it could have been said in a calmer manner."
