And Henry was on hand to accept the Best Men’s Player of the Year award on behalf of his ex-Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi.
But it soon turned into the chance to aim a dig Tottenham’s way.
Henry said: “Someone is going to have to take the trophy. I actually have two reasons for taking it. I never won it, so I’ll keep it.”
Henry then turned to Chowdhury and asked: “You are a Tottenham fan right?’ To which his co-host confirmed.
He then cheekily added: “That’s the other reason, as you do not usually get your hands on a trophy, so I’ll take this one.”
Henry’s comment soon went viral with dozens of Gooners hailing the Premier League great.
One said: “Gotta love the King.”
Another added: “Long live the King. Once a Gunner always a Gunner.”

One gushed: “Absolute Legend.”
Henry won a pair league titles and FA Cups at Arsenal before leaving the club for Barca in 2006 after eight years, 377 games and 228 goals.
With Messi at Barca, the two won the LaLiga title twice and in 2009 became Champions League winners.
The Argentine superstar took home the night’s prestigious player of the year award and also made World 11 for the 17th year in a row.
