Henrik is never the greatest Swede........

Larsson was an excellent player but he sure as christ isn't the greatest player to come out of Sweden; in fact he is nowhere near it no matter what way you look at it.

If you are using the criteria of games played-goals scored, then Larsson is way down the list when compared to Ibrahimovic, Kennet Anderson, Brolin, Allback, Dahlin et al.

He couldn't defend to save his life,plus he went down in the box quicker than Linda Lovelace went down on a boaby.

Good player,yes....the greatest? Nae chance. :pipe:

Larsson was an outstanding player with pretty much no ambition.The fact that he moved to Scotland for about £600,000 at the age of 26 shows where his career was going. And he peaked at 35 as a super-sub.

If Ibrahimovic had played the best years of his career in Scotland, and played like he has played in the last four years, he would be considered by most to be by far the greatest player ever to play here.

Larrson played it safe in a way by staying at celt*c for so long, that's not to say he wouldn't have done a fantastic job elsewhere because he 100% would have but the fact he stayed in Scotland in his peak years will mean some will never hold him as high as other strikers who done it at a much higher level.

Man Utd and Barcelona fans think very highly of him. I wonder if he regrets waiting so long to actually challenge himself.

I also wonder if Laudrup might have had a similar career arc, if not for injuries. I mean, unlike Larsson he had actually played for world class clubs already before he came to Scotland, was the star player of Denmark's Euro '92 winning team and was a Champions League winner with the golden age Milan the season before he joined us, but he hadn't exactly fulfilled his talent at club level before he came to us.

I assume Larrson thought it better to stay there and become a legend forever than take a chance at making a name for himself at a huge club. It's strange because I can never recall any big offers coming in for him when he was in Scotland?

At the times of these players I never thought we would be where we are in terms of the standard of player we are now used to.

Liewell was not at Torbett towers at the time bandying ridiculous figures about.
