    I remember seeing him and Regi Blinker for Feyenoord on Eurogoals a couple of times when I was younger.I never thought anything of it at the time as I was watching goals from all over Europe. I recognized him when he played for Sweden in 94 because of his haircut.

    Breaking his jaw against Livingston in 2003. Was gutted, finally got to see my hero, then he breaks his jaw within 15 mins!

    I can actually remember right when he first signed for us. Freaked me out at the time - in a good way - cos I hadn't heard anything like it before.

    They were asking him why he had chosen Celtic. You know how all these bozos give the same sort of answer - big club, excellent history, love the support, want to win trophies blah de blah.

    Well Henrik steps up and just totally shortcircuits all that crap. Sadly I can't remember his exact words - but he just gave that big beatific smile, and what he basically said was that he felt it was an excellent opportunity for growth, both as a footballer and as a human being.

    Essentially he was telling us that, when it came down to it, it was primarily an avenue for his spiritual development. :56:

    I loved it. Totally cracked me up laughing. Because it was clear he wasn't havin a laugh, he was totally for real. I knew right from that point that we had got someone special on our hands - and amazingly, the football turned out to be every bit as special. :50:

    World cup 94 USA

    Sweden got to semis and Larsson was very young and played in the team.

    When we signed him and everyone was going 'who is this Larsson guy?' I remember being quite amazed that not many celtic fans remembered him from the world cup.
