Wil Trapp has admitted to getting 'goosebumps' after being the subject of positive praise from Thierry Henry.
The former Arsenal star saw firsthand the influence the 21-year old midfielder when Columbus Crew defeated Henry's New York Red Bulls 3-1 at Red Bull Arena on the weekend.
After the match, Henry said that Trapp was the Crew's key and his words have clearly had an effect on Ohio-born youngster who holds the French great as one of his boyhood idols.
"It's a great honor to hear that from one of the greatest players to ever play the game," he said.
"To single me out for a game I played, it's pretty awesome. Obviously, it makes you feel good. But so many guys played well; everyone played well. It's not even fair to single out one player."
Trapp added: "You get goosebumps. To hear one of your role models and idols growing up say that about you is fantastic."
