Larsson is best known for helping win four titles in seven years for Scottish club Celtic. He subsequently had a two-year spell at Barcelona of Spain, where he won two titles and the Champions League. In the summer of 2006 he retired from international football and returned to his home town club of Helsingborgs IF. He later joined Manchester United on a brief loan spell between January and March 2007.
He is the top scorer of all time in the UEFA Cup and one of the top ten scorers of all time in all UEFA club competitions.
In the 1990s, Larsson was famous for his unique high-flying, blonde dreadlocks. However, in 2000 not long after recovering from a career-threatening leg injury, Larsson had his head completely shaven. He has not let his hair grow back since. In spite of this time out of the game, Larsson amassed 93 caps for Sweden, scoring 36 goals. He has now retired from international football.

Kärnan
Kärnan (Swedish) or Kernen (Danish, both meaning The Core), is a medieval tower in Helsingborg, Scania, in southern Sweden. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite of Oresund, controlled the entranceway to the Baltic Sea.
The origins of the Helsingborg fortress is disputed but Danish legend places its origin to the reign of the legendary king Fróði. This legend has not been supported by archaeological proof but both records and archaeological proof have traced the structure to the early 13th century. It was considered the most important fortress in Denmark, and was integral in securing control over the strait between Scania and Zealand. It was surrendered to Sweden along with the rest of Skåneland as part of the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde. The fortress was retaken by Danish forces in 1676 during the Scanian War, and its capture celebrated by flying a giant Danish flag above it. This flag, measuring 17x7 meter, was later captured by the Swedish army and is preserved in the Stockholm Army Museum.
The fortress returned to Swedish control by the Treaty of Lund in 1679. Charles XI of Sweden ordered most of it demolished fearing that it was too exposed to a sneak attack from Denmark. The remaining parts of the fortress fell into disrepair and major renovations did not commence until 1893-1894. The building's cannellated "crown" dates from these repairs.

Sofiero

It was expanded to its current size between 1874 and 1876, after crown prince Oscar had been crowned king Oscar II of Sweden and Norway.

HARMONY AF HELSINGBORG is a tour boat sailing between Helsingør (Elsinore) in Denmark and Helsingborg.
It was build 1969 by Lindstøls Skips & Batbyg, A/S, Risør, Norway for the shipowner Hansa Linien A/S, Sønderborg, Denmark and named M/S Hansa.
It sailed from Sønderborg to Gelting in Germany every day as a so called Spritbåd (Spirit boat) or "Æ Spritter" as locals called them.
It all ended around 1990 when the European Union (EU) told danish and german authorities to stop this sort of tourisme because it was against EU regulations. So the danish Economy Minister stopped them. She became VERY unpopular for that.
It was a very popular route for people all ages to have a good time together and eat and drink or playing cards.
People also bought a lot of liquor, tobacco, sweets, perfume (tax free of course ;-) ). Germans did also use the boats a lot, but they mostly bought butter, because it was cheaper than in Germany, they called the boats Butterschiffe (Butter ships).
From 1992 to 2005 it sailed around in the harbor of Hamburg, Germany.
2005 it was sold to shipowner Ab Sundscharter, Helsingborg, and renamed to HARMONY AF HELSINGBORG and has sailed here from then on.

Flag of Skåne.
Scania (About this sound Skåne in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) is a geographical region on the southernmost tip of the Scandinavian peninsula, a province (landskap) in the Kingdom of Sweden, before 1658 a province in the Kingdom of Denmark and part of the historical lands of Denmark. To the north, it borders the provinces Halland, Småland and Blekinge, to the east and south the Baltic Sea, and to the west the Oresund strait. It is part of the transnational Oresund Region and the historical region Skåneland (Terra Scaniae or "Scania land"). Around 130 km long from north to south, Scania covers less than 3% of Sweden's total area. The population of approximately 1,200,000 represents 13% of Sweden's total population.
Scania's historical connection to Denmark, the vast fertile plains, the deciduous forests and the relatively mild climate make the province culturally and physically distinct from the emblematic Swedish cultural landscape of forests and small hamlets.
