CARR-IED AWAY

Thierry Henry puts his hand on Jamie Carragher’s knee AGAIN as Sky Sports pundits repeat famous live TV moment from when Liverpool sacked Brendan Rodgers

Kop legend might hope the thigh's the limit after the Arsenal hero can't resist another touching moment in the studio

JAMIE CARRAGHER might be hoping the thigh's the limit - after Thierry Henry touched his knee AGAIN live on TV in a repeat of their famous 2015 exchange.

Arsenal legend Henry gently put his hand on fellow Sky Sports pundit Carragher's knee two years ago when they heard Liverpool had sacked boss Brendan Rodgers.

Ex-Liverpool star Carragher's shocked reaction helped make that clip a much-shared video.

And Henry couldn't help Kop-ping a feel again on Sunday when he made a point and turned to apologise to Carragher.

The former France striker did a double-take when he realised his hand was once again on Carragher's thigh.

The duo erupted into laughter - joined by another Sky Sports regular, Jamie Redknapp, as they sat in the studio with Graeme Souness.

In fact, it was the THIRD time that Henry has touched Carragher this way - because in March this year they recreated the 2015 original version for Soccer AM.

That first-time experience became an internet hit for two main reasons.

Firstly, Henry's 'new man' approach was, for many, a refreshing change from the laddish stereotypes still surrounding football.

And, secondly, Carragher showed perfect timing with his unwitting response.

At exactly the time Henry touched his knee, Carragher turned his face away towards a camera with a sort of stunned frown.

The long-serving Reds hero told Soccer AM for the video recreation five months ago: "I wasn't really aware of it at the time. I was just in shock at the news.

"But by the time I got home, everyone was sending round videos of it and having a good laugh.

"But I have a confession to make. The first time Thierry and I were on TV together, I grabbed his leg! So maybe he was just returning the favour..."
