    Compare him with his compatriot Zlatan.

    Henrik played 768 top flight games scoring 402 goals at rate of 1.91 goals a game
    Zlatan has played 860 top flight games scoring 479 goals (MLS not included) at rate of 1.79 goals a game.
    If Henrik had played longer, he would probably have scored a lot more goals than Zlatan.

    Why not include MLS?

    Ok MLS included.

    Henrik played 768 top flight games scoring 402 goals at rate of 1.91 goals a game
    Zlatan has played 912 top flight games scoring 532 goals at rate of 1.71 goals a game.
    If Henrik had played longer, he would probably have scored a lot more goals than Zlatan.

    EDITED: So Henrik, with Zlatans lowered goal per game ration when including MLS, would have taken even less time if he continued his career, to overhaul Zlatan.

    Being Swedish, I´ve followed Larsson´s career since he first broke through with Helsingborgs IF in the early 90´s.

    The comparison with Zlatan is unavoidable. Henrik has achieved three things Zlatan will (most likely) never equal;

    1) Golden Boot (2001)
    2) Bronze medal winner World Cup (1994)
    3) Champions League winner (2006)

    I had the pleasure of meeting him once (so far). Very likeable, down-to-earth. Signed a couple of Celtic tops and a match programme in the process.

    To think as well, Henrik had a stumbling start to his career as well.

    Zlatan came out the traps flying at an earlier age and has clearly lasted a few years longer to get his tally up.

    Don't think even Zlatan with his (legendary) attitude would deny Larsson would be the better of the two of the course of their prowess.

    You've got your sums back to front.


    I never knew Zlatan had never won the Champions League.

    I think he is the last Seville player to get abused on Celtic cyberspace.

    If he ever gets the managers job I really fear it would happen.

    I would get banned from the whole internet if that happened.
