 This dip in success was compounded when Arsenal failed again to secure back @-@ to @-@ back league titles when they lost out to Chelsea in the 2004 – 05 season , although Arsenal did win the FA Cup ( the Final of which Henry missed through injury ) . Henry maintained his reputation as one of Europe 's most feared strikers as he led the league in scoring , and with 31 goals in all competitions , he was the co @-@ recipient ( with Diego Forlán ) of the European Golden Boot , and is currently the only player to have officially won the award twice in a row ( Ally McCoist also had two Golden Boots in a row , but both were deemed unofficial ) . The unexpected departure of Arsenal 's captain Patrick Vieira in the 2005 close season led to Henry being awarded club captaincy , a role which many felt was not naturally suited for him ; the captaincy is more commonly given to defenders or midfielders , who are better @-@ placed on the pitch to read the game . Along with being chief goalscorer , he was responsible for leading a very young team which had yet to gel fully .
