About Henrik Larsson:
Playing as a striker, Larsson began his career with Högaborgs BK. He moved to Feyenoord in November 1993, staying for four years before leaving in 1997. During his time in the Dutch Eredivisie, he won two KNVB Cups with Feyenoord. He also broke into the Swedish national football team and helped them finish in third place at the 1994 World Cup.
Manager Wim Jansen signed Henrik Larsson for Celtic FC in July 1997. Larsson played an important role in Celtic winning their first league title in ten years but later suffered a broken leg in a UEFA Cup tie against Lyon in 1999.
Larsson came back stronger, scoring 53 goals in a 2000-01 season that saw him win the European Golden Shoe. He also helped the team reach the 2003 UEFA Cup Final against Porto, scoring both goals in a 3-2 defeat in extra time. Larsson's 242 goals in 315 matches saw Celtic fans nickname him The King of Kings.
Larsson joined Barcelona in 2004, where he won two league titles and the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League, providing the assists for both goals in the final. Following the expiration of his contract at Barcelona, Larsson returned to Helsingborg, although he also had a brief spell on loan at Manchester United in early 2007. He announced his retirement from football on 20 October 2009.
Larsson played for Sweden in three FIFA World Cups and three UEFA European Championships, winning a bronze medal at the 1994 World Cup, and is a former captain of the national team. He ended his international career with 37 goals in 106 matches.
He also won the Golden Ball (Guldbollen), the annual Award for the best Swedish footballer twice, first in 1998 and again in 2004, while in 2003 he was named the Greatest Swedish Footballer of the Last 50 Years as part of the UEFA Jubilee Awards. He is also the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup.
In 2010, Larsson began his career as a manager at the Superettan club Landskrona BoIS, where he stayed for three seasons. He later managed Falkenberg in Allsvenskan, and he took over at Helsingborg in 2015, where his son, Jordan was one of his players. Helsingborg was relegated to Superettan in 2016 and Larsson left the club.
Three years later he made a brief return in the same role at the club before moving to Barcelona as assistant to Ronald Koeman from August 2020 until October 2021.

Blink three times if they're holding you hostage, Henrik!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant
Great player but naw a party 🥳 dude
😂😂😂😂💥💥💥
😂😂😂
I like the fact he's recognised Sutton he was an incredible forward
So modest with it too.
Larsson was a fantastic player.
Quick .skillfull.Aggressive.Could tackle.Great in the air.Tireless.Scored goals with both feet.Read the game.S team player
Never nasty or disrespectful.Highly respected and admired across football.
I think he was the best player ever to grace football in scotland
A true legend. Honorable choices!
The greatest player I’ve ever seen in a Celtic strip. As well as the greatest ever to play in Scotland 🍀🏴
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@pessf400Brian Laudrup won the Italian league and Champions League with AC Milan as well as Euro 92 with Denmark before he signed with Rangers.
@@pessf400he was on the bench on the final but still got his medal cause he played in the quarter final and semi finals. He also won the Super Cup with Chelsea in 1998.
@@pessf400why do Celtic fans always do this compare everything to things that Rangers have done? The Laudrup/Larsson debate is one i don’t usually bother with because am old enough to remember both of them playing for Rangers and Celtic and count myself lucky to have grown up watching these two world class players playing in Scottish football, which is sadly something that Scottish football will never ever see again (a world class player). A video about Larsson and the first thing that comes to some Celtic fans minds is “oh Laudrup wasn’t as good as him”. Yous constantly spend your entire life’s trying to get one over on Rangers. 🤦🏻♂️😣
@@pessf400Andy Robertson is overrated.
I actually likes his dream-team. I think they would be hard to beat , and also scoring a lots of goals as well⚽️⚽️
Respect to Henke for not picking the obvious choice of players
Thank God he said Lubo . My favourite Celt ☘☘🍀🍀
Even as a Rangers fan Lubo and Larsson, out of this world players and I reserved a special "hatred" for Celtic having them instead of us :D
My number 1 Celtic player ever, Henrik Larsson
Sutton and Larson was a lethal partnership glad he gave him the nod 🍀
great mix of hard working and great passers, and great finishers
I'm a Celtic fan and I like that we've 3 former Celts in the team. My first confusion however is Rooney in midfield! Perplexing.
He I. Mid field coz front 3 r better r u daft 😂😂😂😊
@@MartinNicol-bk7ny obviously not as daft as you judging by your garbled message
Three Celtic players from a long career in Holland, Spain, Scotland and England, including Barca & Man Utd... Lubo was an enigma and so underrated.... hail hail HL is the king of kings.
...and national team. He included 2 players he only played with in the national team.
Thanks for video great player keep going greeting from morocco
Great to see someone who had an amazingly successful career and all the trappings that come with such success come out and openly talk about his depression.
Get well soon, yeah?
...ace selection
big thanks
Henrik
Lubo & Larsson as forwards hammering the Orcs of Govan 5-1 & 6-2! Absolutely epic demolitions! Larsson & Lubo my favourite front 2 of all time watching Celtic!
@@BloodSweatAndMeth These are exactly the type of things orcs debate over.
reply then 'edited' by @felina 7849 - archetypal orc - the orc 🐒🎽 said Lubo was a number 8 😆
You played with Ronaldo and messi and you picked Sutton....that Scandinavian beer must be strong
I couldn’t believe my ears too.. Make it 2 beers..🍻
Thats because when he played with Messi he was only 17 and he was not that good then. And Ronaldo was great but not that great that he became later in Real. He have talked about that.
What a team. Shame lambert never made it mind. But i understand why. Hope you are well mr Larson. Always a hero. 🍀💚🍀
Henrik Larssons reserve eleven :P
Valdez
Puyol Ferdinand Vidic
Brolin Deco Iniesta Giggs
Messi Eto'o C.Ronaldo
Bench: Dudek, Marques, Van Bommel, Tevez, Albertini, Giuly, Ljungberg, Scholes
Great reserve eleven. However I would replace Victor Valdés with Thomas Ravelli.
The king of Kings 🍀💚
Love way he says Sutton
The background music, pure class
JMJ
what song is this? reminds me of a ps1 game
@@FADE-AWAY Oxygene, Pt. 4
@@TIREX09 thank you!
Used to watch this guy as a Hearts fan thinking he was world class and should be playing at the highest level. He would be an all time great if he did.
He is. Before football became individual, Henrik Larsson is the G.O.A.T. Henrik best teamplayer ever!
Winning la liga and the champions league at barcelona not the highest level then?
Ha ha come on mate.
All respect
Hey! As a Rangers fan, he will always be known as the King of Kings who played in Scotland. At the time, i hated him (only as player) but by fuck .... yes credit where credit is due 🤜 respect!
That is an erudite selection and tough AF!!
I laughed when he said Chris Sutton!
A Team worthy of winning any league
King Henrik ❤❤❤
Great dry sense of humour there Henrik, sliding Sutton inbetween Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic 🤣🤣🤣
Moravcic was a magician
Larsson needs a reality check to even mention Sutton in this group of players.
Aye pal you know more about football than Henrik Larsson, haud yer weesht.
Aye pal still entitled to an opinion though.
@@paulpurves484and Henrik isnt?
Of course Henrik is.
All amazing players. But im glad he also has Chris Sutton on the team. Great player.
Chelsea legend not😊
great team.
Nice.
Please... Who knows the title of the music playing in the background? I remember it from my childhood days in the 80s.
Oxygen Pt. IV Jean-Michel Jarre
@@markovan Many thanks! 👍👍👍
Would be some team to beat
Well picked king Henrik hh 🍀🍀🍀🍀
My dream team: Buffon, Cannavaro, Agger, Zanetti, Srna, Gerrard, Prosinečki, Ronaldinho, Baggio, Del Piero, Larsson
Agger 😂
Liverpool fan?
Thought he might have included Paul Lambert
The King of Kings.
How can you misspell Zlatan?
imagine leaving Iniesta and Messi from the starting 11 in your team
@@BloodSweatAndMeth what cliche? Messi is the best football player of all time , how is that cliche to pick the best one to ever play the game ? All Basketball players would put MJ in their dream team for instance.
Facts are facts , opinions can never change that
Messi was only 17 then and he said that he could not see how good he should become. And Iniesta was a benchplayer at that time Xavi and Deco started
💚💚
HENKE!!!
Nice team! What year is this from?
What bout messi
2015, I think
I loved watching henrik as a vid but after watching that,the bloke has the personality of a rock 😂😂😂
What a fantastic team
Zlaten, must be Zlatans twin brother , who knew !? 😂 Two of my 🐐 up front ! ❤
Three busdrivers from Scotland and didn`t find room for Tomas Brolin.
Brolin! Seriously?
The inly surprise is he did not pick paul lambert, a truly world class player, though xavi also was.
Everyone who played with/aganst moravcik rated him top class.
This is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂
Charismatic on the pitch at least 😂
My favourites 11
1. GK Schmeical
2. RB. Zanetti
3. LB. R. Carlos
4. CB. Desailly
5. CB. Sammer
6. Cm. Keane (C)
7. Lm. Zidane
8. Rm. Seedorf
9. St. Ronaldo
10. LF. Ronaldinho
11. RF. CR7
Just saw this. To be fair, he's actually picked quite a balanced team. Although I'd maybe put Lennon, Scholes, Petrov or Iniesta instead of Rooney. Wouldn't pick holes in the rest though. He's clearly thought about the balance and not just the best 11 players he has played with
rigatone There's a reason he'd go on to manage I guess haha!
Iniesta wasn't even 1st choice when he was at Barca. It was Xavi and Deco.
Paul Lambert
@@cockoffgewgle4993 he might not have been first choice but he was also important
@@pessf400 No, not until Pep took over. It was Xavi/Deco. Iniesta was on the bench for the 2006 CL final against Arsenal.
well he did play with Brolin in the swedish national team..would pick him before roney all day long
had to be sutton.. what a duo.. larrson sutton. and then add big john hartson.. what a trio. and they proved it
"Zlaten"
He clearly said Zlatan
They are both from the same country I would think Henerik knows what he said...
It's the text that says Zlaten u f'ing buffoon.
Chris Sutton 😂😂😂
Roxette sings it, listen to your heart . A Swedish group.
Regi Blinker will be fucking ragin!
Snubben skippade både messi o Christiano . Vilken legend
I think Henrik stuck a few in there thinking with his heart and not his head.
Rory M that's allowed, just a dream team.
It would still work - imagine each of those players in their prime. I would have put Henrik in place of Sutton but even so....Sutton was a beast of a footballer.
Hardly mate Sutton is way better than Messi haha, Only joking!! On a serious note though Hail Hail Bhoys, We done the scum 2-1 on home soil and 2-1 on their scummy away soil! Bye Bye Lazio, Facism disgrace!! Theres only ONE Neil Lennon 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 Btw Moravcik is such an under rated Footballer worldwide, we had him in his 30's and wow he was Incredible!! A pure magician and im sure anybody who has watched him will agree! I was at a Celtic vs Dundee Utd game and the ball was somehow kicked up in the air during a 50/50 and Moravcik, as the ball came down actually looked like he was sitting but he was hovering just enough for the ball to bounce off the grass, let the ball hit his ass and stopped the ball dead, then as a Dundee Utd player approached he nutmegged him and crossed for Larsson to score! Always sticks in my mind that goal! Fantastic player and a world beater on his day, Lubo Lubo Lubo, A gift from God 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Moravcik and Sutton over etoo and iniesta is craaaazy 😂
No young Messi ? Who missed the champs league final with a hamstring injury against Arsenal? Or an Accending Ronaldo? One year prior to winning his Balon d’or. Henry too.
Thats because when he played with Messi he was only 17 and he was not that good then. And Ronaldo was great but not that great that he became later in Real. He have talked about that.
No Ronaldinho thats crazy
What?
The music with his bored as hell tone Is good comedy.
Chris Sutton 🤑
Didn't he play with VVD at Celtic?
Good old Zlaten.
Wee lenny? Regi Blinker? Bobby Petta? Henke played with some quality players and good picks.
Be a MANAGER please Henrik and come home to CELTIC you know its meant to be PLEASE we/i need u at CELTIC.
I love Henrik and I liked Sutton but...Messi, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldhino sounds a lot better.
Richard Smith messi was just starting out his career at Barcelona when Larsson signed for them and hardly played with him
The proper dream team 11 of players that Henrik played with should be
Edwin Van der Sar
Gary Neville - Rio Ferdinand - Carles Puyol - Giovanni van Bronckhorst
Paul Scholes - Mark van Bommel - Xavi
Cristiano Ronaldo - Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Ronaldinho
Nearly missing out: Nemanja Vidic, Deco, Samuel Etoo and Wayne Rooney. Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi had not had their breakthrough yet when Henrik played with them.
Surely Henrik decides, not you or me you clown.
Chris Sutton
this video is used as torture in Guantanamo
Ghod💚
Just think, he missed out Ferdinand, Vidic, Ronaldo and Messi! Oh and Rab Douglas hahaha what a bench
Men Thomas Brolin!!!!!
I thought he would mention Martin Dahlin.
Did he play way vanbastin
couldn't disagree... but Rooney...hmmm woulda had a barca player in there... maybe Iniesta along with Xavi and Moravcik... SCRAY midfield 3
It was all believable then he finishes with Chris Sutton
Chris Sutton lmao
He looks hangover
I dont know why he couldnt put himself. Everybody has played with themselves.
That's almost a fact, sir. We'll never know for sure, but if I would set up a team to score goals, Mr Henrik Larsson would have been in it for sure.
as a Rangers fan , only us in Scotland know how good Lubo was … an incredible player , who nobody outside Scotland has heard of … but picking Sutton … cmon Henrik , you’re taking the piss there 😂
@jooohan i think its obvious what i meant .. but let me rephrase it then , nobody else in the UK would know who he was . If you met any EPL fan on holiday and said Lubo was your all time favourite Celtic player .. id say 99.9% of them wouldn’t have a clue who he was .
@jooohan no offence taken , and i appreciate there’s a whole big world out there , but all i was getting at was , he’s not a household name , unlike Larsson but he was every bit as big , in that Celtic team . Probably because Larsson played for Man utd and Barca . Similar to my favourite Rangers player ( Davie Cooper ) …. nobody has heard of him outside of Scotland , but what a player .
Idc if he is Celtic's greatest ever player, leaving out Messi for a guy who's only remembered in Glasgow as the haggis Diego Costa is beyond me
Nae Rab Douglas?
2:25 Zlaten🐐
Zlaten
Is he sedated?
Chris sutton ...really
Henrik and sutton were deadly together and sutton was a great player through his own merit, deseves his place in the team.
lubo
Did he not play with Messi at Barca?
He was 17 then so he could not see how good he should become
No Messi, incredible
Rieper ahead of Rio Ferdinand or pique or puyol? LooooL
Reiper was one of those players you'd never rate unless you played with him or watched him a lot. He was very gifted but injury cut his playing career short quite abruptly. He was similar to Jaap Stam in the no compromise style of play but as his career was Celtic and Denmark he won't be as well known as the ones you mention. Pique was too young at the time Larsson played with Barca, Puyol was too old and Ferdinand was good but not great
Chris Sutton,ask a Chelsea fan.
The man himself was a better player than Zlatan
Hahahah never in a million years.
@@ImDembe yes he was
Yep he was.. In a trillion years.
Agree
Imo Zlatan was better
Leaving out iniesta dude
What you been smoking 😂
Henrik Larsson wants a player Hail Hail thank you YNWA
He was always going to pick Sutton over Eto🙄🤣
But no Puyol, Scholes, Etc...? 🤣
