Just how GOOD was Henrik Larsson Actually?

[@ddg0907]

Larsson's mentality and longevity are definitely a 10/10. To succeed through everything he was put through with racism, career-ending injuries, and not getting offers from big teams until his older age, takes so much mental/physical strength and determination.

[@jeffjacobson59]

He was loyal to Celtic. Plenty of teams wanted him but he chose loyalty. You have to remember, the Scottish Premiership was much better back then than it is now.

[@Satnamsingh-mi4ls]

Yes agree I was wondering why he didn't get it for this at least. Think he was the best player in the world on ability had everything just didn't get his opertunity quick enough surprised how he was treated at a young age he wasn't spotted by big club just as good as all the greats

[@raymur1969]

He did get offers, Alex Ferguson tried to sign him several times when he was at Celtic which is common knowledge.."Ferguson made his first move for Larsson when Martin O’Neill was in charge and the Parkhead icon was at the peak of his prowess that ultimately would lead to him scoring 174 goals in 221 appearances over seven years before he left for Barcelona in 2004. Ferguson said: “I could have signed him earlier. I was ready to make the bid when he was at Celtic but Dermot Desmond, Celtic’s majority shareholder, rang me and said, ‘You’ve let me down, Alex, you’ve got tons of players, we need him.’”

[@hirehone91]

@@raymur1969 "He's been fantastic for us, his professionalism, his attitude, everything he's done has been excellent. We would love him to stay but, obviously, he has made his promise to his family and Helsingborg and I think we should respect that - but I would have done anything to keep him" That is some damn big praise from one of the best managers in history.

You seem to have forgotten how many English sides he turned down because of how happy he and his family were in Glasgow.

One thing you forgot to mention in this video is that Barca is STILL looking for a replacement for Larsson, 15 years later. Just look at the names they have had - Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Suarez, Greizmann, David Villa etc - and none of them were able to replace what Larsson meant the team. That, and his loyalty to Celtic and Helsingborg, speaks more of what type of player he was then ANYTHING else. Even when he was 36 at United, United wanted to KEEP him at the club. They were going to offer Helsingborg a lot of money for a player of Larssons age (talks of about 7-8 million pounds, same as when Zlatan left for Ajax) but Larsson did not want to enter contract talks since he made the promise to Helsingborg to come back afterwards. Henrik Larsson is probably the most underrated player in the history of the game. Well, him and Lev Yashin.
