    Born to late I was. Wish I was born in the 90's even though that was one of the worst periods in the clubs history instead of 2002.

    Kind of hard to explain just how good he was man.

    It'd be like us having an Suarez or a Lewandowski in modern terms. His goals record always gets brought up but his all round game was just incredible.

    ILoveTheCeltic posted this on Lubo thread. I trust the stats are correct. These are insane.

    Jordan brought his family back to my restaurant at the weekend including his parents. Was absolutely in awe when Henrik walked through the door. Lovely people.

    They are 100% accurate. I've checked them myself.

    Not only did Henrik score the most goals per season (usually in the 40-50 range) he also chipped in with 25-30 assists too.

    Incredible.

    The best player to have played in Scotland in the past 40 years, without question.

    I know it might be easy to say that I'm not exactly unbiased. But... even looking at it objectively can anyone dispute it?

    Not only were his achievements in Scotland unprecedented in terms of records set but look at his career when he left Celtic, when let's face it, he was coming to the end. Even in his mid-30s he still managed to win two La Liga titles (got a bad injury during his first season which cut down his appearances) and being the man who singe-handedly won Barcelona their second ever Champions League.

    The whole Nou Camp chanted his name on the night they were presented with the La Liga trophy in 2005/2006.

    Aye, he broke Thierry Henry’s heart that night. Came off the bench & grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.

    He was so incredibly popular, it was a common discussion at the time both among fans & in the local media how Barcelona would've loved to have him in his prime
