WORLD LEGEND
Sweden
Henrik Larsson about playing in the Legends Charity Game:
"It’s a real honour to be representing Sweden at the Legends Charity Game this September. All the Celtic fans hold Lisbon in high regard after their European Cup win here in 1967 and it’s always been a magical place to play football. By combining the beautiful game with a beautiful ambition to raise funds for some fantastic causes, we should create another magical night.”
