FRENCH football star Thierry Henry has revealed the items of clothing he never travels without to protect his "soft spot". The France and Arsenal legend is a frequent traveller, with his role as a coach and a pundit taking him all over the world. So much so that he has designed and created his own suitcase to make sure he can travel exactly as he likes.

However, one item that won't be packed away in his case is his hoodie, which he needs to cover his cold neck on flights. He told Sun Travel: "I don’t travel without a hoodie because my neck is my soft spot and the air conditioning on the plane blasts my neck, so I need to protect it. "If I sleep on a plane it is always my neck I have to protect so the air con doesn’t affect it.

" With the rest of his travel outfit, Thierry said he likes to keep it casual, with trainers and tracksuits keeping him comfortable on his journeys. He added: "I love my trainers and t-shirts are a must. I live in them and tracksuits.

I also always wear sunglasses and a cap." One of Thierry's favourite travel past-times is shopping and he always makes sure he leaves enough space in his suitcase for extra luggage, should he end up buying a lot. He continued: " You never leave the same way you arrive on holiday .

"When I travel I always end up bringing more home than I took, either things people have given me to bring home, or extra stuff I have bought on my travels." That's part of what inspired him to design his new suitcase, which he has created wit.
