Nick Henry (born 21 February 1969) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and spent most of his career at Oldham Athletic.
He again played a major part in the club's promotion to the top flight the following season, and a year later he scored on the opening day of the brand new Premier League, in a 1–1 draw against Chelsea in 1992.
During the FA Cup semi-final replay against Manchester United, with the scores level, Henry's long range shot cannoned against the cross-bar and appeared, from television pictures, to have crossed the goal line before bouncing back out into play.
[2] Henry went on to making only 21 appearances for the club, failing to score any goals, and towards the end of his Bramall Lane spell he was loaned out to Walsall F.C.
Earlier that season he scored the winning goal as Tranmere memorably beat Premier League side West Ham United 1–0 in the FA Cup.
