Lennart Skoglund

Lennart ‘Nacka’ Skoglund was a born entertainer and is considered one of the greatest Swedish football players of all time. He played as a left winger and was a master of dribbles and turns and once managed to score directly from the corner kick, a moment immortalized with a statue which serves as a gathering point for fans at Nackas birthday each year. He’s still popular in Italy where he played for Inter and Sampdoria.

Towards the end he had developed an alcohol problem and died in his apartment at the age of 45. A Swedish journalist wrote, “Nacka lived off of applauds, like the comedian lives off of laughter. Nacka managed to make many people very happy. When the laughter dies, the comedian dies. When the cheers died, Nacka died.”

As Sheffield United captain he led the club to the first division championship in 1898 as well as runners-up spots in 1897 & 1900. He lifted the FA Cup for the Blades in 1899 & 1902 as well as being a losing finalist in 1901.

He represented England 16 times included one occassion as captain - a 6-0 win over Wales at St James’ Park in Newcastle. He marked his captaincy with a goal.

This is one of my favourite football stamps of all time. Captures beautifully the iconic moment when Dino Zoff lifted the 1982 World Cup following Italy’s 3-1 win over West Germany in the final.

““What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.””

- Sir Bobby Robson (via miniboro)
