He's home!
Have you ever had this irrational love for someone? I can't describe it in any other way. Real luv! And we're all so very proud of him. He knows what he is doing, he's good looking, he is SO cool, he is HENKE LARSSON!
FINALLY he is back in town! There's been lists signed by supporters to get him back to HIF, the team where he started (in Helsingborg, that's right, the birthtown of both me and Henke).
For those ignorant fools out there, here is a short briefing:
Henrik "Henke" Larsson born in 1971 in Helsingborg, Sweden. Started to play for HIF in 1992, and contributed to it's success in the swedish league (34 goals in 31 games). Moved on to Feyenoord and later Celtic. Larsson scored 242 goals for Celtic, in 315 matches, making him Celtic's third all-time record goal scorer (in all competitions). This is more remarkable in the fact that he missed almost a year having suffered a horrific injury, breaking his leg in two places, whilst playing against Olympique Lyonnais in a UEFA cup match in France. In 2001 he won the Golden Boot an award for being Europe's top goal scorer, with 35 league goals.
In 2004 The Swedish Football Association named him the "greatest Swedish football player of the last 50 years."
Moving on to spanish team Barcelona (which has the "right" team colours red and blue as has HIF:)), he was part in Barcelona winning the UEFA Champions League 2006. The same year Larsson announces his retirement from professional football, and that he will finish his career in his old "home"-team.
In May 2006 he was given the honor of Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the British Consulate in Barcelona, in name of Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to British football during the years he spent playing at Glasgow. The supporters of Celtic nominated him.
I don't think you realise how much the guy means to Helsingborg. Henke is considered a hero, and rightfully so. He was brought up in a rough neighbourhood, where the kids more often end up in criminal gangs than anywhere else. But with the talent and (and this is essential in his success, according to me) a lot of hard work he finally made his dream come true.
The reason I have such profound respect for the man is that he knows his value but still manages to stay humble. Henke seems to live a quiet life, despite the millions he's making these days. He's married to his teen sweetheart. He's a worker, he's SO cool.
I want to be like Henke Larsson.
Henke, I love you.
