You are my Larsson
#You are my Larsson,
my Henrik Larsson
You make me happy when skies are grey
We went for Shearer, but he’s a w******
So please don’t take my Larsson away.#
(sung to the tune of “You are my sunshine”)
Background
Possibly the most popular and sung of the Larsson tribute songs on the terracings.
The adaption was taken we believe from a Man U adaptation of the original hymn, which is why there is the “We went for [Alan] Shearer” bit (he knocked Man U back for Newcastle instead).
Ironically, Alan Shearer claimed in 2014 that at one point he had almost joined Celtic at the tailend of his career, only hours from signing “It just fell at the last hurdle and it wasn’t to be, but it could’ve happened and I’m sure I’d have enjoyed it – absolutely.”.
