When MySpace was the best thing on the internet? When Nelly was getting \u2018hot in herre\u2019 and Eminem was urging us to \u2018lose yourself\u2019? When Thierry Henry was saying \u2018va va voom\u2019 on the telly?\ufeffWell, that last thing is making a comeback after the legendary French striker penned a new deal to be Renault\u2019s brand ambassador. For the first time since 2011, va va voom is returning to UK TV screens. The new series of TV idents will be broadcast on Sky Sports during or around 96 live matches throughout the 2018\/19 Premier League season. Renault and Henry – France\u2019s all-time leading international goal scorer – share a history that dates back to 2002, when the then-Arsenal player signed for Renault to create the fan-favourite series of \u2018va va voom\u2019 adverts.The adverts certainly left a lasting impact on the British public because in 2004, the phrase \u2018va va voom\u2019 found its way into the Concise Oxford English Dictionary and the adverts regularly feature in \u2018best car adverts\u2019 lists. Henry, who scored 228 goals in 376 appearances for Arsenal, said: \u201cIt feels great to reignite my long-stating \u2018liaison\u2019 with Renault, especially as I\u2019m returning to the team during its first journey into football.\u201cHaving played in stadiums across the world, I know first-hand the passion fans have for both life and their favourite sport. I\u2019m looking forward to helping Renault publicly celebrate this passion over the course of the Premier League season, while injecting some \u2018va va voom\u2019 back into British football.\u201dKeep an eye out for the ads when the 2018\/19 Premier League season kicks off this weekend."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Thierry Henry is bringing \u2018va va voom\u2019 back","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/bringing-va-va-voom-back\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
