Bent: Villa players will scramble for Henry's Arsenal shirt

Aston Villa striker Darren Bent admits it'll be a scramble at the end of the game to get Thierry Henry's Arsenal shirt today.

Villa are at Emirates stadium for their FA Cup clash.

Bent told Villa's website: "His all-round game was frightening in his prime. It wasn't just his goals, of which there were masses, it was his assists too.

"He must be up there in the Premier League assists table. He was absolutely fantastic. Obviously I was an Arsenal fan as a kid and when I played against him when I was at Charlton early in my career he gave me his shirt.

"That's the first thing you see when you walk into my house. It's got pride of place.

"There's going to be a mad scramble for that shirt on Sunday at the end of the game. There will be seven or so guys going for it. In terms of this second spell at Arsenal, I just think his presence on the pitch brings something.

"If you're a defender and you've faced Robin van Persie for 70 minutes and then he goes off and you see Henry coming, you must think 'what the hell?'

"I know he's older now but he's a smart guy. He can definitely play in the top-flight still."
