Thierry Henry haa suggested the Premier League trophy should be named after Sir Alex Ferguson, to honour the Scot's unprecedented domestic success with Manchester United.
Ferguson, 75, retired from football in 2013 after winning the last of his 13 Premier League titles as Manchester United manager.
In a special programme for Sky Sports marking 25 years since the league's inception, Henry insisted the United legend should be immortalised on the Premier League trophy.
"When I met him for the first time, I called him Mr. Premier League. Thirteen. this is ridiculous. The trophy we see right there should have his name," said Henry.
Henry appeared on the anniversary programme alongside former Manchester United captain Roy Keane and Kenny Dalglish, who won the title with Blackburn in 1995.
"People might disagree with this, and I'm not a Man United fan. Thirteen times? This is too much."
