Talk:Henrik Larsson

message: I saw on the news about a year ago that Henirk was awarded an honourary Doctorate by the university of Glasgow, should this be put in the article?

message: 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.

message: 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.

replies: text: I find it interesting. And a well done work - if accurate. But did Pelé score in 1962 and 1966 ? And Baggio in 1998 ? Al-Jaber, which country (all could do with country, by the way)? And what about Paul Breitner (W.Germany) , who are among the very few who has scored in two different WC-finals, 1974 and 19982 - didn't he score at all in 1978 ? (question).

message: 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)

* Deleting unnoteworthy material, particularly in the Manchester United section.
* Flagging content that required sourcing.
* Lengthening the Early Career and Celtic section to give the article better proportion.

thread_title:  info box 

message: Firstly, before we begin the review, let's have a look at the previous reasons why the article failed it's last GA review:
*Lead appears to be okay, although I am worried about the following sentence, "Henrik Edward Larsson MBE [IPA: 'hɛnrɪk 'lɑːʂɔn] (born September 20, 1971 in Helsingborg, Skåne, Sweden) is a Swedish football player" - You don't need to say "(Helsingborg, Skåne, Sweden)" because it later says in the sentence that he's a Swedish football player so the reader will assume that he was born in Sweden. I would suggest it reading "[...] (born on September 20, 1971 in Helsingborg, Skåne) is a Swedish football player currently playing for Helsingborgs IF."
*References look okay, so I'll  that.
*Copyedit - The article reads and flows well. 
*The other points also appear to be taken care of. 
Now, I'm going to put this on hold until the following are addressed:
*Lead sentence, see first bullet point above

message: Now that the page is subject to less editing about his loan spell, I'm looking to improve the history sections further, with a view to getting this page up to FA quality. However when I try to look up this "complicated contract dispute", all I can find on Google is three pages of links that all contain the exact same phrase as is included in the article, with no further detail as to what the dispute was. Whilst the specifics aren't necessary, the nature of the dispute is very significant; was it a disagreement over breach of contract by either club or player, disagreement over pay or something to do with a release clause? Regardless of whether the actual article is edited to include any of this, I think it's important that there's a source to provide context. BeL1EveR 18:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Referring to users as "huns" () and asking other users if they have had sex () is completely inappropriate behaviour, so I don't see why we should treat your contributions with any respect whatsoever. The fact is that Larsson's SPL goalscoring record has been surpassed, and it seems appropriate to mention that in this article; you obviously just don't seem to like the fact that Larsson's record was beaten by a Rangers player. – PeeJay 07:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

message: To my knowledge is he born in Helsingborg, we do indeed differ between for instance Leicester and Leicester City. The football club he moved to was Helsingborg IF, and must differ from the name of the city. There are by the way also Helsingborg Södra BIS in Helsingborg. How magazines of any kind come in to this picture is a bit hard to comprehend. But OK "HIF" is mainly local, even though it's understood even in Stockholm and elsewhere.

thread_title:  Moved to Helsingborg ? 

message: And Högaborg BK is (within this scope) much more than a minor club. Henrik Larsson has ever since he left Högaborg, expressed  his gratitude for their efforts with youths. Not once or twice but at lots of occasions. And since it is of importance for him, is it also so for us, to write something about it. He has donated money to Högaborg in varous ways and occasions. His thankfulness for Högaborg's efforts goes also far beyond his football career, at a deeper level. Provided three reliable sources sources for this. And what that has mattered to him (in public), is also our obligation to mention. The hair cut, to a Swedish TV-journalist he once said, (approximately) "I had for some time wondered if I should cut my hair. Suddenly - in a moment-decition , I decided to have that hair cut. It went fast, I drove home, and almost instantly did the door bell rang. Some photographer wanted a shot of my new haircut. I just simply couldn't understand how he possibly could know it, since I myself din't just 20 minutes earlier" And he permitted no shots to be taken when he was at home. This was something he strongly disapproved of in Scotland, to not have his private life respected.        
The tongue score gesture. He has also expressed , that after receiving  a letter from some mother, who explained that her son had begun doing so - and a lot of it, and kindly asked him to stop with this kind of celebration. And he took that letter to heart, and never again celebrated a scored goal in that way. But I can't find sources for them. But also a football player's personality can be of encyclopedic value, sometimes. And in this case, I believe. Boeing720 (talk) 04:10, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
