5. Zlatan Stole His Youth Coach's Bicycle

Zlatan has a reputation for being a troublesome rule breaker, especially in his younger years. He constantly talks of his rebellious antics such as pushing sports cars to their top speed. His thrill seeking lifestyle is also highlighted by his guilty pleasure of stealing bicycles throughout his teens.

Even though Zlatan openly admits to stealing a number of bikes, this came back to bite him at Malmo FF when he stole a bike which unbeknown to him, belonged to the assistant youth coach at the club. Zlatan returned the bike as soon as he discovered who the owner of the bike was and confessed to Malmo FF coach, Micke Andersson, that he was the one who stole it.

Thankfully, this seemed to have little impact on his budding career, as the same coach called him up to the senior Malmo FF team a few seasons later and the rest is history.
