Ray Parlour recalled a hilarious trip to Nike Town with former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry – which ended up like an episode of Supermarket Sweep!
Back when Henry’s stardom was rising, Parlour was invited along to a promotional event at the Oxford Street megastore.

With the whole shop to themselves, Henry told Parlour to have a look around and help himself to some sportswear.

“Thierry was becoming an absolute superstar at Arsenal,” Parlour said.
“One afternoon he asked me if I wanted to go down to Nike Town with him.
“They closed the shop down for him so he could do some promotional work.
“I like the golf gear so I thought I’d get some golf gear.
“So I went down there with my missus and he had his mum with him, so there’s only four of us in this shop. And Nike town is massive.

Parlour seized his opportunity in Nike Town
“We walk in and Thierry said, ‘Why don’t you look around the shop and pick some stuff up?’
“I said, ‘Are you sure?’ No problem.
“It was like Supermarket Sweep with the old trolley. I was putting everything in.
“There was one occasion where I saw a little gap and put some socks in there. In the end, I couldn’t see over the trolley, I had to look round the side of it so I knew where I was going.
“So we got to the checkout and Thierry has picked up a pair of trainers, his mum also has a pair of trainers. I’ve got this trolley full of stuff – golf clubs coming out of it.
