Henry joined Tottenham in 1952, and made his debut in 1955 as a centre half, but was soon converted to left back. He was a regular in Spurs' defence for many years, and his honours include being a member of The Double winning side of 1961, the 1962 FA Cup, and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1963. Overall, Henry played 247 league games for Tottenham, scoring one goal.
On 27 February 1963, he represented England in a European Championship qualifier against France in Paris. This turned out to be his only international appearance.
Henry currently lives in Redbourn, Hertfordshire and owns a 14-acre (57,000 m2) bedding plant nursery, as well as many homing pigeons. He is still involved with the club, as an assistant to the Under-18 side.[1]
His grandson, Ronnie Henry, currently plays for Stevenage and was the first ever captain to lift a competitive trophy at the new Wembley Stadium.[2]
