Arsenal hero Keown: Henry was still in kit hour after Cup win

Arsenal hero Martin Keown says Thierry Henry was still in his kit an hour after the final whistle for their win over Leeds United.

Henry was still getting his head around his winner on his emotional comeback.

Keown told the Daily Mail: "When I saw Thierry Henry after the game on Monday night, he was stunned. It was more than an hour after the final whistle and he was still in his kit, looking around and trying to take in what he had just done.

"Former footballers often have dreams in which they are back playing for their favourite club again and it takes a while when you wake up to realise that it was just a dream.

"Thierry told me he had those dreams, but against Leeds it was actually happening - he just couldn't quite believe it. It was surreal and a long way from his first few days at the club in 1999."
