Henrik Larsson

Henrik Larsson is the kind of striker I'll always have a soft spot for. The dreadlocks, the relentless movement, the sheer volume of goals at Celtic, it all added up to a finisher who simply lived for the box. Winning the European Golden Shoe in 2001 and earning 106 Sweden caps speaks to both quality and longevity, and his later success at Barcelona proved he could deliver on any stage. I respect that he kept producing well past his supposed prime. Now coaching, I hope he can transmit that predatory instinct, because that goalscorer's sixth sense is genuinely rare.
