From Freepedia

Torbjörn Nilsson (born July 9 1954) is a Swedish footballer and coach.

Nilsson began his career in Jonsereds IF but joined IFK Göteborg as they regained their position in the top tier of Swedish football. As a player for IFK Göteborg he became one of their most successful forwards, if not the most successful. He was a major contributor in the team winning the 1982 UEFA Cup, as well as most other competitions they competed in that year. That year, Nilsson won the Guldbollen as Sweden's Footballer of the Year.

Nilsson had two less successful sojourns as a professional, playing for PSV Eindhoven and FC Kaiserslautern. His career in the Swedish national team is also in general agreed to have been less successful, although he managed to score 9 goals on 28 matches.
