Henrik Larsson
25/04/2006: UK football fans will be familiar with Sweden's Henrik Larsson due to his hugely successful stint with Scottish side, Glasgow Celtic.
The Swedish striker was prolific during his time wearing the white and green hoops, and the fact that he was picked up by Barcelona when he decided to leave showed the world that he was still a very desirable player.
Larsson has shown that he can score wherever he has gone, and only injury has kept him from scoring more at the Catalan club.
He was signed by Celtic for just £650,000 back in 1997 and that proved to be one of the shrewdest dips into the transfer market of recent times.
England fans will be hoping that Larsson doesn't find his form during the World Cup, as their team will be facing Sweden in the group stages.
England's Swedish coach Sven Goran Eriksson will no doubt see Larsson and his striking partner Ibrahimovich as real threats to his side's defence.
