Reports are coming in that Thierry Henry, the well known footballer and former star of adverts for girlie French cars, has died in an horrific car crash.

It is understood that the accident took place in the same Paris underpass that claimed the life of Princess Diana more than ten years ago.

Eye witness accounts confirm that Thierry was in the driver’s seat of the black Mercedes as it left the road at high speed, impacting on the very same concrete pillar that the Princess’s car collided with.

French police are believed to be searching for Irish registered cars and people with Irish accents after hearing that Thierry’s car was being chased by fans angry at the result of last nights World Cup qualifier where the cheating cunt ruined Ireland’s chance of making it to South Africa.

Interviewed over the telephone on a bad line, his partner Ashley Cole said:

“The hospital says that he is in intensive care, but they don’t expect him to pull through because they can’t detect any brain activity. I told them they need to remember he is French and make allowances. I’m praying for him while I travel to his bedside.”
