I've never been a huge fan of Henry, but he's certainly credited as quite the gentleman on the pitch. If you watch the replay, he very clearly hands the ball with the intention to keep the ball in play. Very dishonest play in my opinion.
What's worse is that he is unapologetic about it after-the-fact; makes me wonder if this reputation of being a gentleman is actually deserved.

Thoughts?
