About Gustav Björkman

  • Gustav "Gurkan" Björkman (born 24 February 1976) is a retired Swedish bandy player who played his last year for Hammarby IF Bandy as a forward.
  • He is also known as "Kundvagnen", "the shopping trolley", because he always plays with a characteristic grill on his helmet.
  • He has won the Swedish championship three times, with Sandvikens AIK in 1997 and 2003, and with Hammarby IF Bandy 2010. In April 2008 he signed a new two-year contract (with option for a third) with "Bajen".
  • But after they won the Swedish championship, and he became father to his "little prince" Melker he chose to retire at the age of 34. He was an important key-player in Hammarby, especially the season 2009–10 with his feeling for finding the net, he was one of the greatest players in Sweden and very powerful.
  • Gustav really was what you can call; a True Hero, not only because he took Hammarby to the final in 2007 with his 3 goals against Västerås, but also with his style of playing; He always plays his best for his team, he works hard, and he really is full of energy, as Stefan "Lillis" Jonsson once said.
  • He is also a great skater, which he used well to get, as fast as he could, from the penalty booth to the bench on the other side.
  • The fans of his team, Hammarby, always showed how much they appreciated him.
  • They have also written a tribute song to show this for him: PÅ'an, SLÅ'an, KLÅ'an, FLÅ'an, BJÖRKMAN!
