When asked by L'Equipe if he missed not winning the award, read what he said after the cut and tell us if he deserves to have atleast won the Ballon d'Or in his career or not?
Henry said: "It's useless to ask this question. Of course it's a great award - I once finished second, once third - that's not bad.
"I've won the World Cup, so I won't complain. That's what made me dream when I was small, not individual honours.
"When I got aggrivated, I told myself: 'Can you not see that one day you will play for the France team?' and when the World Cup was on TV, 'Can you not see you will win it?'. But even then I felt I had almost gone too far."
The striker, now featuring for New York Red Bulls in the MLS, went on to admit that failing to win the Champions League with Arsenal is a greater regret of his.
"I think if I had not missed two chances in the final of the Champions League in 2006 with Arsenal against Barcelona, there would be no discussion," Henry added.
"And frankly, it weighs on me more not to have won the Champions League there.
"The 'if' is not my thing. I sleep fine at nights. I've done what I have done, what I could do, with successes and failures."
