    First remember Larsson scoring for Sweden in the 3rd place play-off in the 1994 World Cup, first Celtic memory is his diving header against St Johnstone, I've blanked out his pass to Chic Charnley against Hibs.

    First memory was going round to my Grandad's to watch one of the games (he had Sky at that time). I was asking him what the new guy was like. Must have been about 8 at the time.

    First vivid, lasting memory of him playing is probably his goal vs St. Johnstone.

    We'd bid for Shearer, but he's a *

    his dodgy debut when he lost the ball and the other side went up and scored. He was played on the left wing and didnt look at all good our there.

    the first memories I have are when we beat St. Johnstone 5-0 at Celtic park, one of the goals we hit like 5 shots before larsson stuck it in the net I think? The other was a 3-2 away defeat to the sheepshaggers, we missed 2 pens and Henrik scored the 3rd and the other goal - whatever game came first is my earliest memory of Larsson.

    The diving header against St Johnstone is my first memory of him I think, was at the game and it was some goal.

    did he not hit the bar from near the half way line or something?
    after that i remember reading an article about him in world soccer about players to look out for. was really excited when we signed him then gutted after the chic charnley goal in his debut.

    Him giving the ball away to Chick Charnley (sp?) in the Hibs game, Charnley then proceeded to win the game with his next kick of the ball :eek:

    Never forget it.
    I remember turning to my mate and saying, here goes another crap year, how wrong was I.

    May have saw him earlier in his career, but I wouldn't have known who he was.

    Celtic v Berwick Rangers in the league cup 1997. The game was played at Tynecastle and we won 7-0. I was only 7 at the time but I always remember a girl sitting behind me saying "who's the daftie wi the long hair?".

    Didn't really follow football that much as a kid, so my first real memory of him was when we beat Dundee UTD 4-0 in December 2001. Henrik scored with his usualy composure, then when he ran past the camera he held his index finger up, I thought at first it was his middle finger.
