Henrik Awarded Degree By Strathclyde Uni

EX-CELTIC star Henrik Larsson is to be awarded an honorary degree by the University of Strathclyde.

The 33-year-old Swedish international, now with Barcelona, will be made a doctor of the university next month in recognition of his contribution to sport and his impact on Glasgow and Scotland.

Professor Andrew Hamnett, university principal, said: "We are delighted that Henrik Larsson has accepted the honorary degree.

"Mr Larsson's tremendous contribution to sport is well-known. However, the university believes that his impact on Glasgow and Scotland as a whole went far beyond the football field.

"His charity work and general demeanour mark him as an ideal role model for our students."

Larsson has still to confirm he will attend the ceremony on May 4.

A university spokeswoman said: "Mr Larsson has accepted the degree.

"We're awaiting final confirmation of whether he will collect the award in person but we're confident he will."

GHOD

THE KING OF KINGS
THE MAGNIFICENT 7

WAT ELSE CAN I SAY

 

i love him too!

 

Think there will be a fair old crowd for that, should he fly back in to Glasgow.

 

Aye there sure will Well done to him, he was a great guy N * Bellamy will never replace him. But did anyone see in certain tabloids celtic want to pay the 5/6 million over 3 years?

 

I'll praise him when hes retired.. Until them i'll treat him the same as any other opponent.

 

Dr Larsson, I presume?
He plays in Barcelona but he still loves the Hoops
Graduation on 4th of May, I'll go if he will

 

aye a think a myt go

 

My folks are in Barcelona right now - they've picked me up a Barcelona shirt with Ghod's name on the back. Is that wrong?

 

U should get doctor on the back of shirt

 

LOL! True, true...

 

Of course not, I know we have to let go a bit, but the guy was a great so there is nothing wrong with getting his name on your barca top. We still talk of Jinky and Co.

 

I really despise Universities that 'honour' people with honourary degrees. Whether it be Henrik or Billy Connolly, these 'degrees' are bullshit. If the guys want to 'earn' a real degree like myself whilst doing full time work and raising a family then good luck to them. But other than that the scrolls are as bogus as the dead sea ones.

 

Totally agree, wish he would come back 4 Jacki's Game, would love 2 see him play again in the hoops!!! Weird 2 think of him as a doctor an see them writing Mr Larsson, Its Henrik!!!!(/ the king/ legend etc) *

 

Spot on

 

I agree, us students are bursting our arses off trying to finish work and these guys are gtting honours for playing a sport

 

aw well done to wee henke so proud,lol HAIL HAIL HENKE

 

What has he done to deserve an academic degree?

 

* sake,why the * cant you just say well done or whatever,but no not you.are you jealous or something that he got a degree??

 

Aye as a matter of fact I am. I worked my * bollox of for mine whilst running a business and raising a family. Yes that means doing the stuff when you should be doing recreational activities or just relaxing.

The * academia will do anything to get their selfs in the paper.

Henrik Larrson could be as dumb as a retarded sheep, but because he scored goals.....hey lets give this guy a degree.

A * JOKE

WHY CANT I SAY WELL DONE?

WELL DONE FOR * WHAT?
