Career

[edit]

Playing for Malmö FF, his career there was successful, becoming Swedish champion in 1974, 1975 and 1977, as well as runner-up in the European Cup 1979 (a 0–1 defeat to Nottingham Forest). He represented the Sweden national team at the 1974 and 1978 World Cups as well as on a number of other occasions.
