A man that wasn't born into celtic but grew into it as he played, genuinely heart breaking during his final interview watching how devastated he was when he finally left
Pause Forethought Well remember he won the golden boot whilst playing at Celtic and did remarkable things with Sweden during those years... trust me everyone knew his credibility he was just very very loyal to celtic that he happened to play in his prime for them.
Pause Forethought yes fair enough the Scottish game isn’t familiar worldwide but defintely always great players coming out the league even to recent date - Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Wanyama, Kieran Tierney etc etc during Larsson time lots of top players - Bronchorst who went to play for Barcelona also, Artur Numan, Boruc, Nakamura
I’m a rangers fan but I’ve full respect for Henrick, one of the greatest strikers to play in Scotland lets be honest. Always comes across as a sound humble guy too
King of kings....never will forget when a journalist asked him what it was like to play for a big club when he signed for Barca...he replied I've just spent 7 years playing for an enormous club
The only player to score 2 goals against Celtic knocking us out of the champions league who didn’t celebrate, but we gave him a standing ovation. I was there and it was so emotional, Henrik just put his down when he scored and Ronaldinho and co were all over him. God bless him 👑
Quality is quality as a bias blue nose i can acknowledge this man was elite among the top 3 to play in Scotland and as he proved was a quality asset to any club he pulled the boots on for
My nephew was just daft about Henrik. All his school essays were about Henrik Bloody Larson. My brother had him in a Celtic shirt the second he popped out into the world.
i couldn’t say no to ( man united ) twice.. Alex Ferguson tried desperately to get him when he was at Celtic. Speaks volumes of how good this guy was. A true great.
i think in 98 he was interested in larson and mols as a front pair but mols was soon injured i remember ferguson at ibrox watching mols after only 6 games.i think in his book he doesn't name mols but mentions a rangers forward but mols is the only one it could have been
As a Rangers fan he broke our hearts on many occasion however total respect for him. A wonderful player in every league he played in and a top bloke too.
12:37 - He knows we absolutely adored him, even when he scored against us for Barcelona we clapped for him and said 'well done Henrik, great goal son'. The guy is forever loved by us Celtic fans. HONNÖR Henrik!! ✌️🤙
The king of kings🔥 🇸🇪 absolute gent of a guy will always be my favourite ever Celtic player just glad I got to see him play in the hoops 🍀💚 won more premier League medals in 12 weeks than Defoe and Gerrard did in 40 years combined 👀💪
My thought exactly xD That's a player who's been playing with and against them all (players & teams) basically. He have stories for days. But also just talking about the jerseys from an athetic point of view. He's never told or been asked about a shirt design. Now that I think about it it he did commemt on a Sweden jersey once back in 2012 I think when Sweden got their new kit for the european championship in Ukraine.
@OG Crow He's won a lot of other liga titles, and like 35 different cups if i remember correctly. he's also considered one of the best strikers of his generation. I think the dude is acclaimed enough.
The best player I've ever seen at Celtic Park, and ever likely to see. Cried my eyes out when he left. A true legend and world class player. HH King Henrik
What a legend, so humble, ground to ground, always respecting the opponent and his teammates, for me, one of the best footballers I had the pleasure of watching. In my book the best Swedish player ever.
World class striker, I remember I watched Celtic v spurs pre season in the mid 90s he wasn't playing but had the pleasure of bumping into him and his family outside Celtic park, he was brilliant with every club he played for and was international legend for Sweden
Henrik was probably the most complete footballer I have ever seen. He was deadly in the air, was completely two footed, it did not matter what foot the ball came to and he was adept when with his back to the opposition goal at splitting even the tightest defences wide open with first time lightning fast flicks and passes,he was also very clever when running through on a goalkeeper in a one on one situation, he seldom missed and, could make great keepers look very silly.Yes he was without a doubt one of the greatest ever.
Its amazing seeing how many rangers fans respect this guy in the comments. Fair play! Shows what a genuinely nice guy and incredible player he was. Same way ive always liked and respected Mccoist.
Great down to earth guy.. Best player I ever seen in the SPL. Seen alot of people say not as good as ibra because he's done it on more leagues. But larsson showed his class at barca won them the champions league by putting goals on a plate and then signing for man u on loan again and doing it, If larsson wasn't as loyal and moved on earlier maybe he get a little more recognition off the Swedish at least. He could of banged them in like ibra in the mls at 40 too, he was an amazing player.
i remember after that final.. i was 13.. henrik still has that hurt! after the game in a interview i remember im saying something like i didnt come here for a runner up medal, what a champ!
I know what I mean for this club and that's more than enough for me the love he has for Celtic is unbelievable was world class and probably won't see a player of his calibre ever again ☘️ ⚽ 🇸🇪
As a non Celtic fan and general dislike of the old firm I always did and still do love this man. A true gentleman, loyal and great great player. What a player should be
Rangers fan here; I couldn't bring myself to hate him at the time and I can't in the present day. A good human being and an outrageous talent. A force of nature.
I always said they were playing with me. Not me with them, because I'm the oldest one on the Ronaldo and Messi question 😂😂what a king and a legend. One of the most underrated players of all time. King Henry 👑
Those 3 months at United were brilliant, best Loan signing in Premier League history! It makes me gutted more though as he recently said he wishes and regrets that he didn’t stay for longer!
As a die hard Rangers fan, l must admit l was glad to see the back of Larson. What a player this guy was, he had everything. He would never give up, and his finishing wasn't bad either. Best opposition player of my generation. And a great role model on and off the park.
Can only love henrik, every year when we celtic fans have to get players who use celtic as a stepping stone to the epl after a season or 2, it makes u realise that bit more how very lucky we were to have him, and others like sutton etc, Legend 💚💛💚
“I know what I mean for this club, and that’s more than enough for me” Cheers Larsson sons crying
The King
Put a tear in my eye 😂
Legend the king of kings
I’m no crying your crying

@@ron6181 Ferguson tried to buy him multiple times, anyone with a clue about football knew, so that rules out most of the EPL retards to be fair.
I wasnt born into the club, but when I moved from Dublin to England my dad showed me the bright light of Celtic FC
I’m a rangers fan but I’ve full respect for Henrick, one of the greatest strikers to play in Scotland lets be honest. Always comes across as a sound humble guy too
Yes and tbh I'd have Laudrup in a heartbeat!
@John Kavanagh Spot on. Always wanted him to have a bad game against us. (Rangers). Guy was a class act. Respect mate.
This is the talk i like to hear from celts and rangers fans not the same old bullshit.
Mark Oneill When it comes to players of Larsson’s and Laudrup’s quality, it’s very hard to disagree.
Best player to grace the scottish game no other way about it
His love for Celtic still makes me emotional. Unbelievable player and man.
Gaz a could still “greet” 😂💚💛💚

True legend
Helped barca win the final of the cl bagging two assists
He won Barca the CL GOAT
The reason they did win it.
Yeah he come on and completely changed the game.
Pfff... came on and broke my heart that day 😞
Just say the name Henrik Larsson at Celtic park and everyone will smile we loved and still love him HH

A true legend and will always be close to my heart Henrik the king of kings 🍀
As an Arsenal fan, I've got mixed feelings towards him.
One of the greatest of the modern era, but single-handedly stopped us winning the UCL.
Imagine me then, i´m a swedish Arsenal fan >.
As a Rangers fan he broke our hearts on many occasion however total respect for him. A wonderful player in every league he played in and a top bloke too.
Ian Meechan respect ! X
"I always used to say that they played with me 'cause I'm older than them."
Legendary.

Do it with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It would be a one hour video
My thought exactly xD That's a player who's been playing with and against them all (players & teams) basically. He have stories for days. But also just talking about the jerseys from an athetic point of view. He's never told or been asked about a shirt design. Now that I think about it it he did commemt on a Sweden jersey once back in 2012 I think when Sweden got their new kit for the european championship in Ukraine.
I would watch a 4 hour video of Zlatan in this series.
That would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@OG Crow He's won a lot of other liga titles, and like 35 different cups if i remember correctly. he's also considered one of the best strikers of his generation. I think the dude is acclaimed enough.
And it would just be zlatan on his own, no presenter, he'd be the one presenting it.😂
Even as a Rangers fan I have nothing but respect for Larsson and also Lubomir Moravcik - outstanding footballers who conducted themselves with class.
Aye Larsson and Moravcik were the two most technically gifted Celtic players. Laudrup and Gazza were rangers. The deboar brothers as well.
Respect Iain
Aye Me 2
As a rangers Fan THIS IS THE BEST FOOTBALLER THAT'S ever came out of the spl EVER
Respect m8
What, even better than Michael Ball ?
@@JohnMcMahon. surly tosh mckinlay is in with a shout aswell
Clearly not a real rangers fan or too young to remember our teams from the 9 in a row era or the early 00's
That's stupid. Celtic fans respected Laudrup.
Had the pleasure of watching him regularly when he was in his prime. The best striker to grace Scottish football. Hail Henke...the king of kings. 🍀
Could genuinely greet watching stuff with Larsson. A legend in every right but an absolutely impeccable gentleman.
The best player I've ever seen at Celtic Park, and ever likely to see. Cried my eyes out when he left. A true legend and world class player. HH King Henrik
The word legend gets thrown about all the time nowadays but the King of kings is a living legend for us Celtic fans.
The best player to wear the hoops for the past 30 years. Absolute legend. Joy to watch.
Past 30 years? McGrory/Larsson/McNeil best of a 133 year history
What a man, What a career, the king of kings 🍀💚
A real privilege to have watched the greatest ever Celtic import. The king of kings.
What a legend, so humble, ground to ground, always respecting the opponent and his teammates, for me, one of the best footballers I had the pleasure of watching. In my book the best Swedish player ever.

Grew up watching larsson every week at celtic Best striker I've ever seen his lob against rangers wow hail hail
True legend of the game. I still get a lump in my throat when I think about his farewell at Celtic park The king of Kings7️⃣
Larsson was a legend. At Celtic he was goalscorer week in week out. And he did well at. Man Utd for a Short period, ⚽
The greatest player to ever grace the Scottish game ‘He gave me joy in my heart’ 💚
Bring me joy in my heart.

Same way ive always liked and respected Mccoist.
I’d second that.
I seen met this guy when I was a ball boy at St Mirren... truly one of the best players I have ever seen, and such a nice guy
Keep doing these, they're great to watch these iconic legends
And Jesse Lingard
Apart from the pointless music that creeps in as they speak, a great video. I am 57, lifelong Celtic fan, and Larsson is the best Celt in my time.
My hero
What a gentleman & outstanding player. One of the all time greats.
Larsson is the best player to ever play in Scotland 🍀🍀🍀🍀
@Stevie 021168 well its debatable, he was that good to put himself up for contention. i think he might of been myself to be honest.
