Henrik Larsson makes incredible comeback but son gets the goal



Henrik Larsson made his comeback at the age of 41 for Swedish fourth division side Hogaborg - but it was his son Jordan who stole the show as the 15-year-old got on the scoresheet.

The former Celtic, Manchester United and Barcelona star dusted off his boots after Hogaborg, the team for whom he is currently assistance manager, were struggling with injuries ahead of their clash with relegation rivals Tenhult.



And his return did the trick as Larsson, playing for the first time in four years and his son helped Hogaborg win 4-2.



"We didn't combine a whole lot but obviously I'm proud," Henrik Larsson told newspaper Expressen 



"It is of course a rare luxury to get to play with your son," added Henrik, who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2006 and the European Golden Shoe award in 2001, and was part of the Sweden side who came third at the 1994 World Cup.

Growing up: Jordan has represented Sweden Under-16s and is reportedly the subject of interest from a number of major European clubs

Jordan has already been linked to several major European clubs, as well as Helsingborg, the Allsvenskan club where his father made his name after leaving Hogaborg.

"It was great fun - maybe next time I can make an assist for him," Jordan told Expressen.
