Spelly-answer my question in post 15.
In short:
yes swedish
not icon or hero but since im a fellow countryman ive been following him since early 1990's when he first started to shine in the domestic league and then moved to Feyernoord in Holland on to Celtic and then to Barcelona and back to Sweden where I thought his career would end. He retired from the National team as well so I was amazed how he could find the joy and motivate himself to continue.
I have a huge respect for him as a person and player. As a player and his caracter Im full of admiration for him. Wherever he's been they've all loved him and I heard when Henrik left Barcelona a few players were fighting over his last pair of boots used in Barcelona.

I think it was Edmilson who won that fight.
As a player on the pitch Henrik have been throughout his career a player with a great work rate and he plays for the team and often he makes his team mates better.
My very personal view on the Swedish footballers I would prefer him to be the captain of the National team. Many rates Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the better player and yes maybe Zlatan got more tools in the toolbox but the input from Henrik is way over Zlatan's.
When it comes to United. When I got the text message two weeks ago about United wants Henrik I was just laughing it off. It cant be true. To be honest I thought the guy who sent it was drunk. Ive been talking to the same guy a few times and with his sources he still say Henrik will come to United. And as I wrote back then you can take it for what it is. And NO I dont prefer him to come to OT. I would rather see a more steady solution to the striker issue then a 37 year old player. I can see the interest of him with the Berbatov deal and Saha leaving for some reason and doubts about Campbell. Still, as much as Im a Swede I put team infront of the players and I think Henrik Larsson wouldnt be the answer to the prayers. You know my view on a new striker at all for the club, the Huntelaar vs Berbatov stuff.
Is that answer enough Jazz?
