Henrik Larsson returned to the field last night for one more game alongside his son in Sweden, which was captured in this fantastic picture

Yesterday we brought you the brilliant story that Henrik Larsson was to lace up the boots for one more game at the pro level, and it would be alongside his 16-year-old son Jordan.

Larsson only came on for the last five minutes to make a cameo appearance for his old side, according to Swedish news site Local, so he didn’t have time to grab a goal, but the story still made headlines around the world, showing how highly regarded Larsson is.

Speaking after the game, Larsson told Swedish paper Aftonbladet “It was great fun to play. I can’t remember the last time I played for Högaborg”, but added that further appearances were probably unlikely.

Someone at the game captured the brilliant image seen above, and put it together with another picture of the two together in Celtic shirts from a few years back.

Now that makes us feel really old.
