Former Wales international Robbie Savage has sensationally revealed that he hid from Arsenal's kit man when Gunners legend Thierry Henry asked to be given back the shirt that he had scored his 100th Arsenal goal in.
The Frenchman notched his centenary goal for the North London club against Birmingham City at St Andrew's back in January 2003, scoring twice in a comfortable 4-0 victory for Arsene Wenger's side.
Following the full time whistle, Savage, asked Henry for his shirt, with the former Gunners man blissfully unaware that he had reached such a significant landmark with a further two goals being added to his tally.
But once Henry had discovered that he had reached such a special landmark, he was desperate to get the shirt back.
However, when Arsenal's kit man entered the Birmingham dressing room in an attempt to get hold of the shirt, Savage decided to hide, denying Henry the chance to be reunited with it.
Now, over 17 years on, Savage, appearing on BT Sport on Saturday, remarkably revealed that he still owns the shirt, which he has had specially framed.
Savage told BT Sport: "I've got a confession to make. When I played against the legend that is Thierry Henry for Birmingham, he scored his 100th goal at St Andrew's. After the game I asked to swap shirts with him, I gave him my shirt.
"I don't think he knew he'd scored his 100th goal in an Arsenal shirt. I took the shirt, put it in my bag.
"When he realised, the kit man knocked on our dressing room, and said "Thierry wants his 100th goal in an Arsenal shirt back".
"I hid, snuck out the back door and took it home, and I've got it here. The actual shirt he scored his 100th goal in."
After revealing to the whole world that he had owned Henry's shirt for all this time, Savage vowed that he would return it to it's rightful owner.
"Thierry, I've got the actual shirt you scored your 100th goal for Arsenal in," he added. "You can have it back. Wherever you are, I'll send it to you."
