[edit] 12 years apart
He scored in the final minute of the match against England for Sweden to draw the match 2-2 in their final game in the group stages, thus becoming only the fifth player to score in World Cup finals which are 12 years apart. This is incorrect. Uwe Seeler, Pele, Maradona, and Laudrup had already made this list. Al-Jaber joined the list on June 14 with his goal against Tunisia, meaning that when Larsson scored his goal against England on June 20, he became the sixth player to score. --Salmon 10:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cape Verdean footballers
He´s not cape verdean, even if he´s from Cape Verdean origin. I don´t think he should be in this category. User:Mistico
Oh Ok, if you say so ;) Just FYI he is from there but he seems to have taken his mother's last name. Maybe because his Dad ran away when he was young, who knows.
I've read a couple of times that the reason he was given the name Larsson (his mother's) is that his parents thought that as a black kid, he would stand out enough in Sweden without having a foreign name as well, thats also why he was named Henrik, even though he is actually named after his uncle Henrique. I'll look for a reference for this but if someone else finds one first so much the better! 82.40.194.148

[edit] GA failed
- Needs to comply to WP:LEAD.
- Missing references.
- Needs a throughout copyedit.
- Having completed seven very successful years with ... who says they were succesful.
- Biography section should at least break into 3, 1st ... Player career (or so), 2nd ... Awards and honors (recoup with the Honours section) & 3rd ... News criticism.
- The quotes from the journals should be better referenced.
- I also trimmed the unnecessary External links.
- Some of these points aren't fully necessary for GA at the moment so re-nominate when you feel enough points have been assessed. Lincher 03:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discrepancy with David Beckham on world cup feats?
I note that there has been an edit to the Beckham page, with a summary as follows: (Removed false claim; 21 players have scored in 3 world cups) from User:ChaChaFut. I have no idea if it is correct, but this page still states that Larsson is the fifth player to do it. Can someone verify what the real picture is? If it is as presented here I'll revert the Beckham edit. I have left a similar note on that page too. LeeG 23:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

- Actually I have edited a few players. I am also concerned on all the different versions I have seen here on different pages. I have posted this in other pages, but I will repeat it here hoping this will help us get it right. ChaChaFut 00:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4 world cups-12 years apart
Larsson scored in World cups which were 12 years apart. The confusion posted in the last thread may be due to the assumption that as world cups are 4 years apart then the number of world cups in that time was 12/4 = 3 but there are actually 4 world cups. The first in 1994, one in 98, then '02 and finally, 12 years on, the fourth in '06. So Larsson is one of a very limited number of players to score in a world cup and then to do so again 3 world cups (12 years)later.
[edit] not black
isn't henrick mixed race, not black as stated in the article?
[edit] Man U squad
Is it not a bit premature to put the Manchester United squad template up, because
1. He has not currently a Manchester United player 2. He has not been assigned a squad number?
Technically he is a Helsingborgs player, and they are in the off-season now. --Madbassist 23:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sweden WC pic
It says its 2002, but it looks like Paul Robinson in goal, meaning it was in 2006, as Seaman was the keeper in 2002.
[edit] Appearnaces, goals
These are referred to as for domestic league only, however the totals appear to be for all matches including cup and European. John Paul Rennie 12:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feyenoord, Celtic and Helsingborg Career
The article is far too top heavy on his (very) brief loan stint at Man U and also on his Barca career. For a properly balanced article, much more should be made of his seven seasons at Celtic, his difficulties with Feyenoord and his favourite and current club Helsingborg. In short, I would contend that it concentrates on his two perceived 'glamour' clubs. Charlie odd 10:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
