Viewers of The Late Late Show were in for a treat earlier this week, when Thierry Henry appeared on the popular programme to fire footballs at host James Corden.

Obviously, the English presenter didn't share his audience's good fortune.

Corden was strapped to a target that slowly rotated, and Henry attempted to kick the balls through three small holes.

At least that's how it it started.

Before long, with a boisterous crowd urging him on, the former Arsenal striker changed his target and started aiming for the exposed presenter.

Cue a rather amusing three-and-a-half minutes of television.
