Best match in the world. He’s bang on about Henrik, too. A wonderful player, could’ve played anywhere, but chose loyalty over financial gain. The man always has my respect.
totally agree. i hope he doesn't have any regrets. just from personal experience loyalty doesn't always pay the bills. and sometimes it's not reciprocated. but he was a top player facts
Larsson was on £40k a week at Celtic on the early 2000s. That's what Roy Keane was getting at United at the same time. If he had left, he wouldn't have got much more, if not taking a pay cut.
@@kb5509 Bang right. The OF was paying top dollar during this time. HL would have gone if he could have got more elsewhere. People forget just how much players got at the OF before the Sky money really kicked in. Rangers tried to sign Ronaldo when he left PSV. And, apparently, his advisers took the offer seriously. The OF were paying 40-50k a week at that time. Footballers always follow the money, whatever else anyone tries to tell you.
@@robinmcewen3286 you don't have a clue what you're talking about,rangers tried to sign Ronaldo with EBT money which is financially doping,Henrik was world class and got the wage that matched.He balled Like a baby In his final game at Celtic park.Forever the king of kings 👑
That bit at the end about Henrik Larsson playing for Man Utd in the twilight of his career is the reason Larsson is absolutely adored by Celtic fans. Larsson signed for Celtic when he was 25 and left when he was 32. He spent his peak years at Celtic and then later played for Barcelona & Man Utd. Since Celtic sold Dalglish to Liverpool in 1977, we've just got used to our top drawer players leaving after 1 or 2 good seasons. Football is a short career and so I don't really begrudge guys who want to earn more money or play in a stronger league etc... as one bad tackle and it could all be over tomorrow for them BUT Larsson didn't choose that path and that is why he is held in such high esteem amongst Celtic fans. Well that and 242 goals!
Larsson went on to score 38 goals in 84 games for Helsingborgs, finishing up at 38. As a Celtic fanatic, he was the best player ever to play in the PL imho. Brian Laudrup would be a very close second but Henrik was top of the shop. Saw him get the worst injury I ever saw live against Lyon for Celtic. One of those where the leg makes shapes that make you nauseous. Says alot about him that he came back and was still world class.
Hai hail. Martin O'Neil built the foundations for celtic today. Took over a team with 20 point deficit to rangers and won the the treble, showed dermot Desmond how to recruit properly from the EPL. And broke us onto the European scene. Oh and forced rangers to go down the EBT Route.
Hi Ben can you guys do a topic when you talk about international duty like do you pay your own flights or do the countries pay when you go down just things like that
There is a long list of players, whom while at celtic and then move to the prem, the celtic support know who is top class and can make it. Be it di canio, viduka, VVD, Larsson. There is more i'm sure. But if we say a player can hack it at the top level, we mean it.
@@celticfan67 how does the t not? Explain to me how if they moved to the Premier League in 2023, how both Old Firm clubs would magically be competing at the top of the league after a handful of years. That same old story has been trotted out every time it's been brought for the last 30 years, and stopped making any sense about 20 years ago.
He had an amazing team. I keep saying though, He bought an EPL golden boot winner for 6 million. How much does one of them go for these days? Larsson truey world class, he was a totally unselfish player, was always playing for the team, always trying to set up others, bring them into play as well as scoring the amount he did, if he had been your typical selfish striker his goal tally would have been far far higher than it was.
I’m a rangers fan but I must say Martin o,neill was a wonderful manager who broke my heart on many occasions but I wish him well,,lovely man

@@kb5509 Whats your sources for that?
Ferguson was after him for years, likely offered him more, still decided to stay.
Could listen to Martin all day, Celtic legend
Villa legend
Will never forget his Celtic days. Legend.
Martin O'Neil an absolute legend of the game
At Forest he was but not at Celtic.
@@johntate5050 you tripping? One of celtics best ever managers
Easily in the top 3
Martin O'Neil an absolute legend in his own mind.
@@Giggitygiggity2 how many European trophies did he win for you?
Martin O’Neil’s Celtic was before my time and before I can remember but he’s an absolute legend
Great manager, I've great memories of him as a player too, just finished reading his book it's an excellent read, thanks for everything Martin 👏👏👏
What a manager, didn’t get to fully appreciate him as I was just getting into football and fully understanding it when he left
Rangers fan - Martin and Henrik broke my heart many a time. Great for Scottish football and Celtic Larsson was phenomenal
Must have been electric. Can’t believe there hasn’t been one since 2012 🧟♂️🪦
Brilliant, Celtic fan?🍀
@@khal29 Hail Hail! 🍀

What’ a team
He built at Celtic.. unbelievable talent most where playing for there countries !!

Great questions well done Ben 🍀🍀🍀
You should get ally Mcoist on the podcast great guy
Just want Martin O Neill to read me bedtime stories he’s a joy to listen to
best one yet
quite sad the podcasts are now only on Spotify, what's the need for this channel now?
Clips
You do know Spotify is free right?
For showing clips retard
It's the usual sellout path for these things
@@TMAS01 you know not everyone can be bothered to go out their way to get Spotify, right? I pay for youtube ad free, I ain't paying Spotify as well
Loving the podcasts lads!
I already love you and Tom Ben but this podcast with Saint Martin is 💚💚💚.
Thank you
Love the Glasgow Derby. Nothing in England comes remotely close.
Would be great to know when this old firm game was, as looking at the stats I can't find it anywhere!
ruclips.net/video/fT6Yl5UEnEw/видео.html
August 2000.
probably the 6-2 game mate that he mentions
AKA “Demolition Derby” 🍀

Would recommend you going to a Glasgow Derby Ben mate
Ben foster got Martin O’Neill😮😮😮😮
The Old Firm Derby WAS the biggest club game in world football. WAS. There hasn’t been one since 2012. Now it’s just the Glasgow derby.
We’d be pushing top 4 Premier League after four or five seasons of PL money
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That old chestnut never gets old 😂
keep dreaming
No you wouldn't, this is a 20 year old argument that no longer applies since the financial landscape of football completely changed.
@@kb5509 that makes no sense

Fozzy to Celtic asap plzzzz

First love the content Ben
You are my Larsson 🍀💚🇸🇪🤴
Ben, you got someone else's legs. Monthehoops !!!!
Come back to youtube I don't use Spotify.
Facts
Why not it’s free?
@@TMAS01 Because you have to sit through so many adverts and I don't have Spotify
@@TMAS01 it was free on RUclips, why change that in the first place?

Glasgow Derby

Shouldn’t be calling it the ‘old firm’ around a Celtic legend.
Grow up
RFC EASY OK.
You let your club die
Pity there's no old firm thing anymore, after old rangers died in 2012
