    He wasn't Barry Ferguson.

    for season 2002/3 look at this:

    Larsson:

    44 goals
    SPL top scorer by miles
    breaks jaw, returns early and scores against Liverpool within 5 mins
    scores 12 goals in 12 appearances in Europe
    Wins best Swedish footballer in the last 50 years from UEFA jubilee awards
    Scores in every round of UEFA cup he played in including 2 in the final
    Top goalscorer in UEFA/Europa history

    Barry Ferguson

    18 goals (how many of which were penalties?)


    VERDICT ON SEASON:

    SPFA Player of the Year: Barry Ferguson
    Football Writers' Player of the Year: Barry Ferguson

    Why are we assessing Larssons weaknesses?

    He is a Ghod, Legend and arguably the best player ever to wear the hoops.

    Don't buy the accusations about his left foot.

    Remember the goal at Ibrox from a tight angle and the even more ridiculous one he scored from an even tighter angle against Dunfermline at CP?

    It was his heading ability for such a wee guy that was ridiculous.

    He had areas of his game that were stronger than others for sure, but weaknesses?

    Nup, can't think of one.

    I have also never seen him do a triple back-flip in mid-air and on the way back down backheel a volley into the top corner against the Spain 2010 World Cup winning team at Old Trafford while at the same time blessing himself and saving a penalty against Messi.


    Apart from that he was a tidy wee player.

    When he was on the Kryton factor he only got 8/10 on the landing the plane challenge, which in turn put richard branson off signing him for virgin united when he left us.

    The guy was class and had no weakness in my eyes!
