Just how GOOD was Henrik Larsson Actually? 

WTF mentality 8/10 dude thats an insult, he came back from 2 career ending injuries and still did well it never brought him down or made him quit

You seem to have forgotten how many English sides he turned down because of how happy he and his family were in Glasgow. He turned down “a few extra pounds” to go south of the border because his family’s happiness meant more than money. I have no loyalty to Larsson as I’m neither Scottish, Swedish nor did I support a side he played for, but he’s easily one of my all time favourite players.

Larsson's mentality and longevity are definitely a 10/10. To succeed through everything he was put through with racism, career-ending injuries, and not getting offers from big teams until his older age, takes so much mental/physical strength and determination.

Everywhere he played he was loved by friends and foes. There is not a greater achievement than this.

I saw him play a couple of times in Scotland and he was different class. His ability was miles ahead of anyone else on the pitch. And he was a class act: never got into trouble, never saw a negative news story about him. A true world class talent.

Henrikh Larsson...brings tears to my eyes how time flies... Henrikh Larsson is a foe to me as a chelsea fan and a Nigerian..I remembered him as a foe that I greatly admire, love and respect. Even when people didnt see him as a threat, the wise ones knew he would be d difference between a victory and a defeat for most teams he played... Great guy...I miss him in football

Larsson was the definition of a PERFECT team player. Dedicated, professional, respectful, POSITIVE, engaged. Talented? Yes, very. But that talent plus the sum of the other qualities, made him extremely essential in any team. An inspiration!

He won the Golden boot when goals in the Scottish league were worth 1 point, England/Italy/Germany/France/Spain were worth 1.5 points. Also he could have gone to a big club , Man U, earlier but he appreciated how great he had it at Celtic. A true legend and, from everything I've seen, an all round great person. 'You are our Larsson, our only Larsson. You make us happy, when skies are grey. We went for Shearer, but he's a wanker. O please don't take, our Larsson away"

As a Celtic man I never thought I'd see a player like Jimmy Johnstone but the 1 person who could topple Jinky as Celtic' best ever player then that man's name is Henrik Larsson he had everything speed/ skill but most importantly he was humble I think everyone who has Celtic in their hearts cried on his last league game v Dundee United he is & always will be the king of kings

I'm a Rangers fan and I have to be honest and admit Henrik Larsson was the best I have witnessed in the Scottish game !! No foreign player in Scotland have left there mark like this legend of the game , true great ❤👍👌✌

When he was at Celtic, he was considered by consensus a top 5 striker in the world. His quality was undoubted! All the big teams in Europe wanted hin

Not many players can say they have played in same team as Messi and ronaldo. As an Aberdeen fan he was a thorn in my side but what a player. The dude could've walked into any team on the planet, to hell with your rankings.

Henrik Larsson, Thomas Brolin, Martin Dahlin, Stefan Schwarz, Kenneth Andersson, Thomas Ravelli. World Cup 94. Still remember that names...

I see where Zlatan gets his gets his motivation to be up there in age and he plays like an ageless man! None other than this Swedish Legend Larsson

An incredibly underrated striker. Had he gone to United when they initially wanted him, mainstream people would be talking about him in the same breathe as Eto, Henry, Ronaldo Nazario, and Raul. I have no doubt.

As a Caribbean National I always heard about two international clubs way before the existence of the internet; Celtics and Rangers. This player made the sports headline news each week in my country. I honestly feel wherever his feet touched he placed it on the international map (And let’s not forget that the odds where often against him). Can you imagine if he was born in Brazil and had an opportunity to be scouted by a top European team at the start of his career ? 🤔

2006 UCL Final, both Barca goal came from his assist. Great striker. Great great striker. Sweet retirement at Celtic.

He would’ve been an invaluable asset to any team, in any league. The man was one the hardest working footballers of all time and also graced by nature with immense speed, reflexes and coordination. Not as spectacular as a Ronaldinho or a Zidane, but as effective as a striker can be.

He will Never Be forgotten at Celtic. He is a Legend there

Loyalty: 10 King Larsson

My childhood was spent watching my dad lose his mind every time Larsson scored for Celtic. Truly one of the greats. Hail hail.

Not only an extraordinary talent , but a decent , caring compassionate human being and a good husband and father.

He was almost too loyal to us, he could of left sooner or if he didn’t lose a season to injury he might have gone on to have a longer spell at Barca and show everyone what he really could do. Immense player 🍀

A Celtic legend! 🍀

Henrik played for Barca, and later coached for the club. Just amazing

The king of kings! My ultimate role model and hero. I might be biased as a Celtic fan but what he done for my club is incredible and also in football his legacy is cemented. He is a true great and gent of the game and having met him where I was totally star struck and embarrassed afterwards I can confirm he is a legend of a player and more Importantly a human being. Even in charity games I’ve seen he seems like he could still do a job. Hail hail the king

As a swede, Euro 2004 was epic. Good players on every position, + Larsson and Zlatan. We were barely knocked out by Holland when Zlatan missed a penalty. To be honest I didnt know how insane Larssons stats in Celtic were, but for me he was already a legend and my favourite swedish player.

Proud Celtic fan, the absolute undoubtable goat. Never seen anything like him, a striker who was completely selfless, when he wasn't scoring he was dragging players out of position to give space to Hartson and Sutton, Tremendous work rate and attitude, willing to side step bigger offers for the happiness of his family. Also think there's a lot to be said for if you're loved where you are and enjoying where you are in life and your form why move? seen too many instances of players getting big money moves only to disappoint and be totally out of place. We'll never see a player of his class and his loyalty back here. Think I cried for a week when he left.

He says one of his biggest regrets was not spending more time at Manchester but he made a promise to his old club at home in Sweden and didn’t want to break it

Man.Untd.fans here..witnessing Larsson as Man.Untd.player. So as its been in the dialogue.. He still is one of my fav.Man Untd.striker. i was quite sad when knowing that he had to move to scottish league..back then..i was hoping that he would somehow return to the club but was invain. But his short term dosent matter.. He surely win Man.Untd.fans heart and we 100℅ consider him as our true club player as other.. We thank you and missed you.. Larrson..

This man came to Glasgow and lit up Scottish football and is one of the most wonderful football players I have ever seen.

Here in the east end of Glasgow this man is a football GOD who stayed loyal to our club and when he won the CL for Barsa we as supporters loved him for it, there will never be another Henrik Larsson!

I'm a Celtic fan and he was my hero. A legend. My grandfather who was a bitter staunch Rangers fan. Hated every Celtic player, coach and even Referee's who gave them anything respected Larsson. The goal where he chipped Klos was the only goal against Rangers that my grandfather celebrated. To me that says a lot as he once threw his dinner at his TV when Aberdeen scored against Rangers while threatening to shoot the referee for giving away the free kick which assisted the goal.

Had the pleasure of watching him live home & away when he was with Celtic.The best I’ve ever seen.king Henrik 7 🍀

Solid dude, met him a couple of times in Rotterdam at a friends place when he played at Feyenoord.

Celtic man here, Larsson is best striker ive ever seen in the flesh at Celtic, so lucky to have him for 7 years, loved his time here so much he refused other bigger clubs to stay with us, amazing player King of Kings 👌🍀🍀🍀

True Celtic legend, and indeed an all time great.

What a legend he was! One of the best and most respected players of his generation. Leaving a mark in Barcelona at age 35 is just amazing.

One of the greatest ever. Player in Celtic, Barcelona, Man U among other clubs

10+. I was privileged to see this great footballer and man playing for Celtic. Outstandingly consistent and brilliant. Great he won a Champions league with Barcelona.

One of the best players in the world thank you for the memories 🙏 🇮🇪💚🤝🏻🍀love you henrik 👍

He was amazing a true icon. You will live for ever larsson. You are my larsson

I consider myself a very privileged person to have watched this very humble and extraordinarily talented footballer in real life.

The MAN was TEN out of TEN every time I seen him play! The football talent that he showed made him a STAND OUT! As a Footballer he had the LOT! Thank you, HENRIK!

Incredible player and incredible example of how to keep going despite adversity plus he kept his word too 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

King Henrick probably was the best professional ive seen?!. temperament was brilliant n his consistency could be relied on, he nvr had an Ego n was humble bt became a top player in the world thru his professionalism, intelligence, hard work and Obviously his TALENT" and that bhoy had alot of blooming talent? lol. Even his oponents Loved Him? lol. HENRICK LARSSON... in the football world he Aged Like Fine Wine!!. What a player!!. ⚽️ Peace! ✌💯

Are you kidding me. Scottish football is amazing! It has much more of a pure sport feeling then the over bloated clubs of Europe. Winning at Celtic is just as impressive as anywhere else!!!!

Pure class in every way, and incredibly dangerous on the pitch. Smart, fast and deadly finisher.

Players like this are what greatness is. He made every single team better by just being there...what a champion he is

ABSOLUTE LEGEND!! One of the GOAT.

Absolutely brilliant video! You nailed Henrik's career in every single aspect! Instant sub! Henrik is such a legend of the game! One of the greatest swedish players of all time and an absolute favourite player and human being of mine!

Stepped on a train in Skåne, (south of Sweden), once. Was met with someone I knew and I go "Tjena mannen, hur är läget?", basically "Hey man, whats up? All good?", he answers very politely and we keep talking and thats when I realize I'm not talking to one of my long lost friends but Henrik Larsson. Everyone is watching, and he's just talking to me like some regular dude. Yeah, Henke is a legend, both on and off the field!

One thing you forgot to mention in this video is that Barca is STILL looking for a replacement for Larsson, 15 years later. Just look at the names they have had - Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Suarez, Greizmann, David Villa etc - and none of them were able to replace what Larsson meant the team. That, and his loyalty to Celtic and Helsingborg, speaks more of what type of player he was then ANYTHING else. Even when he was 36 at United, United wanted to KEEP him at the club. They were going to offer Helsingborg a lot of money for a player of Larssons age (talks of about 7-8 million pounds, same as when Zlatan left for Ajax) but Larsson did not want to enter contract talks since he made the promise to Helsingborg to come back afterwards. Henrik Larsson is probably the most underrated player in the history of the game. Well, him and Lev Yashin.

I used to not have the channels at that time..was desperate to watch some football. I was focused on my players R9 and Ronaldinho but one player always got my attention....on the news i always saw Larssen score. Game after game after game. What a player

From the same town and this is a great video about his career! Keep tearing up as I see the Barcelonas CL-win and the celebration afterwards!

Henrik Larsson is one of the best forwards that Sweden ever had.

The best player ever to grace the Scottish league....no doubt, no argument! So many top players(Ronaldinho and Messi to name a few) class Henrik as one of, if not the best player they have shared a pitch with....that in its self is testament to the guy #legend

Please do how good was Jari Litmanen 🇫🇮🇫🇮

Great video! Henrik Larson was one of Sweden’s finest players but he pales a bit in comparison with Gunnar Nordahl. Gunnar who played in the 40’s/50’s had 5 top scorers trophies in the Italian top flight. He’s an old AC Milan legend.

Total Legend! Best player we ever had in Sweden! ❤️

One of my favorite strikers ever.

i just discovered your channel and i'm so happy u already made a video about larsson!

Absolute Legend. Demi God Henke. Hail Hail 1888 Gentleman of Paradise 99/100

He is really a legend 💯

Always used to find Larsson in fifa, I didn't know at that time anything about him. I think, it shows how underrated this guy was

He was pleasing on the eye. Amazing skill and clinical finishing.

A true phenomenon! As a fellow swede, I'm proud of Mr Larsson

Great video.Thanks so much for posting it.

Loved this video, honestly it was such a good testimonial of Larsson. Celtic might not get the respect of fans around the world but he was the king of kings.

Larsson was no Maradona or Messi, but he always improved every team he was in, and always made his team mates better. A fan favourite wherever he went.

I have dreads for him, absolute idol

I just realized he's another player on a shortlist of players who have played with messi and ronaldo

🇮🇪 🍀 🇸🇪 btw you said scottish league off season, you meant to say swedish 🥴👍 I'm so happy u did Henrick Larsson, now I'm just wait your total score 🙈

Great stuff man ❤️, subscribed 🙏🏼

One of the best ever headers of a ball. Class act. Had a big influence on Rooney

Only got to see him playing once, as I was only a kid. One of the greatest strikers of all time.

Oh cannot cannot fathom the Celtic's strikeforce if Mark Viduka and Henrik Larsson Played together! my word that would be breath taking

Keep up the great work loving it

Humble, brilliant, and an awesome person!

Love this series!!

Really love your content. Would be nice to see one about riquelme. Such a forgotten master of football.

And here I thought I knew everything about football. Thank you I didn't realise such player existed , a true legend.

As a 40 year old who was a big Larsson fan as a kid I was today years old when I learned that he was mixed race! One of the best Scottish football has ever seen

The Swedish 2004 euro team was so freaking good. Shame it ended early :(

Great video and the greatest ever modern celtic player easily. Seem him play countless times. My favourite ever player.

I had the pleasure of watching this guy every week, signed for around 650k , unbelievable, his talent & loyalty are something truly rare, the king of kings, hail hail x

Cool video! definetely would like to see an episode about E.Davids, M.Overmars,P.Kluivert, Y.Djorkaef, A.Recoba and many more :D

The most extraordinary thing about Larsson is that people like Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Rooney all said he was the best/most influential player they ever played with. That's remarkable. Celtic were INCREDIBLY lucky that he loved Glasgow so much. If he had been a bit more ambitious and hungry for money and glory, he would be recognised today as one of the all-time elite. Instead, he's just the most loyal man in football.

He was an exceptional player and his life choices tell you all you need to know about him. It's obvious that he had a massive love for the game and loyalty was more than a word in the dictionary to him.

hey wassup . i havent been in your videos for a long time because of personal issue . anyway you grew sooo much man since the Ronaldo Video . Keep it up. Lol i came from the reddit post to support your ronaldo video

Do Litmanen next! Love the videos btw❤️

Another great vid bro 👊

He was the man I liked most in football

Surely one of Sweden’s greatest ever player?

Can you make one on diego forlan?

Bro if someone from rangers even say your good then you already know that you’re an iconic player

I have been waiting for this

Great video 🍀

his outside foot shot was insane

Could´ve mentioned that he, in 2008, started playing floorball in the top league of Sweden. He was a strong player in this sport aswell.
