Cleaners in Ireland are turning against Henry vacuum cleaners because they cannot bear to see the name of the French striker whose handball knocked them out of the World Cup, it has been claimed.
Workers are refusing to use the familiar red-and-black devices in anger at Thierry Henry's cheating, The Sun reports.
Some have even defaced the smiling cartoon faces that are painted on the front of the appliances, with others writing abuse next to the Henry logo.
The vandalism is said to have mystified bosses because Thierry Henry has no connection with the brand of vacuum cleaners, which are produced by the British firm Numatic.
"Several cleaners say they're unhappy working with vacuum cleaners with the cheat's name written on them," a worker at a government building in Dublin told the newspaper.
"It's bizarre because the machines have nothing whatsoever to do with Thierry Henry.
"Some have painted over the name on the cleaner and wiped the smile off its little red face. It just shows how the frustration caused by that goal has got to everyone in Ireland."
Henry's handball to set up France's late winner at the World Cup play-off in Paris last week has infuriated Irish and British football fans.
Supporters have threatened a boycott of the Gillette shaving products endorsed by the 32-year-old forward, who previously enjoyed a clean-cut reputation.
More than six million Henry vacuum cleaners have been sold around the world since they were launched in 1980.
It was a joke about this sorta thing, Irish workers coming back from the match drunk saying: "Where's the Feckin hoover?"
"Dont smile at me henry you cheating Little CHEAT!"
Hopefully now u understand better
