Henrik Larsson was a superb Swedish striker whose finest years came at Celtic, where he became a talismanic figure and one of the most prolific forwards in the club’s history. Quick, brave and a natural finisher, he scored freely and inspired the side to domestic dominance and a UEFA Cup final.
He later played for Barcelona, contributing to their Champions League triumph, and enjoyed a spell at Manchester United. A mainstay of Sweden’s attack across multiple World Cups, he was admired everywhere for his professionalism and craft.
