THE KING OF KINGS Born Helsingborg, Sweden on 20 September 1971 "ESM Golden Shoe" winner - Europe's top scorer in 2001/2002, scoring 53 goals in all competitions. UEFA Champions League (2006) Dutch Cup -1994, 1995 Swedish Footballer of the Year - 1998, 2004 CAREER STATISTICS
On Saturday 22 May 2004, Celtic played Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park .... it was Henriks last competitive match in the Hoops. He scored the first two goals in a 3-1 win to lift the cup for Celtic and complete the league and cup double. His final game was against Sevilla CF of Spain in a special tribute match the board will claim was to let the fans say goodbye. The reality was that we (including Henrik) had already said all our goodbyes at the Cup final and (especially) at the end of the SPL match against Dundee United a week earlier (Henrik's last league match). The 'tribute' match was really to pay his £1 million end-of-contract bonus. The match was never advertised as a "testimonial" match and there was never any inference that Henrik would get the proceeds .... except in the press where they don't bother too much about the accuracy of their stories.
THANK YOU SWEDEN FOR HENRIK LARSSON. |
