My Club

I love football. It is a long love story. When I was four years old I was at the stadium in Malmö and watched a game live flr the first timd. Since the moment the referee started that game in 1968 with his whistle, I have loved the sport.

The game I saw was Malmö Fotbollsförening (FF) vs. AIK Solna (Stockholm). I can still remember the smell of grass, the sound when players hit the ball and the joy of a goal from that first day. Since then I have been a Malmö FF fan. I don’t know what it was – maybe the skyblue shirts.

I Sweden Malmö FF is the biggest club, founded on 1910 we are the only club with 20 national titles (we habäve won the first division 23 times) and with an additional 14 national cup titles there are no other club that can compete. We have won the league four times the last fiv years and we have played Champions League three times, with a final in 1989 as the best result. In 2009 we moved our home 200 meters to the new stadium.

There is something special with this game, and the passion it delivers all around the world.

Our three best players ever are easy to rank. Almost all Malmö FF have the same trio on top.

For me the best of all times-list looks like this:

1. Marcus Rosenberg

2. Bosse Larsson

3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Rosenberg is our present captain and absolutely amazing. He is Malmö in every sense.

Bosse Larsson is our star player from the past. Once the Swedish nationambteam caoch was asked how Sweden could improve – after ending 5th in the World Cup 1974 – and he answered, “…give me ten Bosse Larsson and a goal keeper”. Zlatan is Zlatan.

He played his younger years with us and one and a half season with the first team before leaving for Ajax Amsterdam at the age of 19. What he has meant for our club and city in the world is outstanding. The best player we ever saw.

There is something special at our stadium. The fans is amazing and numerous international teams – like e.g. Juventus, Madrid, Salsburg – have testified the electric athmosphere and the passion of the fans.

We won the game in 1968 3-1. Since then Malmö FF is my club. And we still beat AIK.
