Two contestants gave the former Sweden, Celtic and Manchester United striker as an answer when attempting to identify a goalscorer at Euro 2000. It wins them the jackpot prize money, amazingly, when one of the contestants then reveals her boyfriend, a Celtic fan, had encouraged her before the show to give Larsson as the answer to any football-related question
