Today’s photo of the day brings you an image from just over 20 years ago, and shows Henrik Larsson in mid-flight as he diving headers the ball. It is such a typical shot of the Swede who was always prepared to put his body on the line.
Larsson scored two cracking goals in the match; a 3-3 draw in October 2002. The first was a sensational volley, after he controlled the ball and spun in an instant. The second was a marvelous powerful header from considerable distance.
What a privilege it was to watch the King in action for a magnificent seven years.

I was lucky enough to have been at the armadillo the night the Celtic greatest team was presented and to see Henrik standing up there and how proud he was that the fans had voted him into that 11 was a night i will never forget.
