Henrik Larsson and Martin O'Neill speaks to Chic Young after Henke's last game at Celtic Park. Larsson had been tearful out on the pitch as he said his goodbyes and carried it on to this interview.
He could have played for the biggest clubs, won everything and be 3x richer. Instead he decided to stay where his heart was. Let football aside, here’s a guy who understood what life’s about. I remember growing up in Argentina and going thru every sport channel hoping to see him play, and when that happened, I was as happy as a boy could be. My childhood hero. Forever grateful. As I’m writing this I made up my mind to go out today wearing my flamboyant 97 Celtic away shirt with that number 7 that belongs to the one and only HENRIK LARSSON 🇦🇷🏴🇸🇪
This is the difference between players then and now (and its not even that long ago) Larsson loved the club and fans for everything we did for him. Players now feel like they're a gift from god and want to use Celtic as a stepping stone. We need players for the badge. Just like Larsson. Henrik is the greatest.
TripleB1888 Well said mate. Too many players are using us as a stepping stone these days, yet I haven't seen one player capable of lacing Larssons boots.
How many years on and I still cry at this.. Man Henky was the greatest thing to gift the modern era of this club... Imagine if only we had him now.. Larsson a true pro, gentleman and all round great person. Not a bad bone in the man's body. Truly the king of kings. Hail Hail, forever welcome.
I met him one time. He was signing autographs outside the stadium. One of the guys in front of me, right Glasgow (i'm North) he said, " you're a legend Hen,standing out here and singing for us" and he looked at the boy and he went "you made me. you guys made me". i'll never fortget it.
Henrik Larsson was the most important player for the swedish national team.without him we woulnd have a chance.ibra is ibra and henke is henke.2 different players who was and is important for the national team.im an CELTIC supporter still after henke has retired.wonderful supporters and a great club.// Jorgen from kiruna sweden.
Actually a player who was rather overlooked until he came to Celtic Park believe it or not.. After Celtic it all went downhill, Sweden, Barcelonia, Manchester United.. Thanks Henrik. Thanks for everything. I'm sorry you didn't win a European trophy with Celtic - but very glad you won one with Barca. You deserved it. A fabulous player - who just needed the right team - and that was Celtic.
Lucky enough to see him in his pomp. Treble season. 50+ goals. Brilliant footballer. Ask the Barcelona players. An exemplary servant of Celtic FC. A decent and honourable man.
Thank you Henrik, the memories we had with you are endless, from stopping 10, the treble, the road to Seville, all the goals and becoming the best ever spfl players HH hopefully you'll be a manager at Parkhead soon HH
fair one for this great striker. I support Rangers(also AEK Athens as being a greek lad) but u have to accept the greatness of the player! Big rival but also a big man!
Still brings tears to my eyes....you are our Larsson, pur Henrico Larsson!!! As much as I hate Barca, I was so happy to see him win Champion League and get that most important piece of silverware!!!!
2019 an still makes me cry , the love i still have for the man 🍀🍀 all the money rangers spent and eventually liquidated themselves an they still never had a player fit enough to lace his boots
@@ALEXANDER-nb1cr Kiren Tarny is a quality player. 36 years old, 6 caps for Azerbaijan, 3 happy meal cups and a left foot that can hit the stands from a goalkick. Absolute Kilmarnock legend
This great man killed my uncle James, my uncle James, he broke down crying, he was heartbroken when he left, he took a stroke a few months before he left, and after henrik left, my uncle gave up the fight, and died a few months later, my uncle followed celtic since the late 20s, and henrik was his favourite player of all time. 😢
thats heart. thats love for his club. Nowadays its all about the money. Neymar didnt leave barcelona like that, he left without a care, and he's supposedly going back lol Larsson is by far my favorite legend.
I'm from Sweden and one thing I know for sure, Celtic, the club in Henrik Larsson's heart throughout his career .. (along with the mother-club Helsingborg IF)
Scotland's top leagues best ever striker, player and I believe personality and heart... I am a Livingston fan and I am not religious of any sort...That is just my opinion. I miss him in Scottish football. Just hope we can produce more players like him that are born a little more closer to home :)
We will never get a player like this again, who plays for the jersey. Gary Hooper, uses us as a stepping stone, he has no fucking clue how big a club Celtic is, just look at this man crying his eyes out, he could have been at Barcelona 5 or 6 years before he actually joined them. Henrik is Ghod, always will be. Hail Hail Henrik.
I feel everyone on here needs to have a bit more respect for the man who dedicated his life to scottish football celtic fan rangers fan alike! Fact of the matter is that if henrik didnt play in scotland there would have been no tv deals, the nation wanted to see someone like larsson develop as a player and set the world alight!
i was at this game, one of my mates who is a man united fan came with me and he loved celtic park said it was completley different than old trafford, when the final whistle blew we both ran down to the front row to say goodbye to a legend
larsson was a world class player, but never the best...the only difference between him and the players we have today its that larsson was able to give 100% on the pitch everytime, and even when he wasn't scoring goals he would make sure that others did.*OVERALL A LEGEND*

Head and shoulders the best to ever play in Scotland. The absolute best.

TripleB1888 naw, i think its just scandinavian players like living in Scotland..... Johanssen loves it, Mikael Lustig loves it as well
Moon Party guidett comes to mind there..
Daniel Salt yes he is? i implied that he's crap..
Spot on mate.

+rend staff hahaha
henrik larsson legend
A great guy, never played dirty or dived. A nice guy to boot. Thank you Henrik for playing for us in Scotland.
you just dont see this level of passion and pure human emotion anywhere else in football
I met him one time. He was signing autographs outside the stadium. One of the guys in front of me, right Glasgow (i'm North) he said, " you're a legend Hen,standing out here and singing for us" and he looked at the boy and he went "you made me. you guys made me". i'll never fortget it.

Words cannot describe how much i love this man.
Thats lovely, lovely how he went to barcelona, and did well there too, with the blessing of those celtic fans.
Actually a player who was rather overlooked until he came to Celtic Park believe it or not.. After Celtic it all went downhill, Sweden, Barcelonia, Manchester United..

I might be a rangers fan but he is never going to be replaced by any player
StillNaw karamoke dembele is going to be the new Henrik larsson
Alexander Atheist Dunnachie98 no one will replace him he stands alone
Pure class act. What a role model off and on the pitch
Growing up as a kid, this man meant so much to me, forever my idol
Thank you Henrik, the memories we had with you are endless, from stopping 10, the treble, the road to Seville, all the goals and becoming the best ever spfl players HH hopefully you'll be a manager at Parkhead soon HH
fair one for this great striker. I support Rangers(also AEK Athens as being a greek lad) but u have to accept the greatness of the player!
Big rival but also a big man!
king of kings, most loyal player ever.

King Hendrik never forget the memories through my childhood my idol
always a Celtic fc hero,legend,saviour so much to say about Henrik always in every true Celtic fans heart
Still brings tears to my eyes....you are our Larsson, pur Henrico Larsson!!! As much as I hate Barca, I was so happy to see him win Champion League and get that most important piece of silverware!!!!
