Player Biography and Trivia

Number 1 retired by AIK

Cult/Star player for AIK

Cult/Star player for Strömsbro IF

Cult/Star player for Sweden

"Honken" kom att bli vår kanske folkkäraste hjälte i Tre Kronor genom alla tider. Hade sina allra största framgångar kring VM-turneringarna -69 och -70. Det var under VM -69 som "Honken" myntade uttrycket "stolparna är mina bästa vänner". VM-debuterade 1965 i Tammerfors med att nollan i de fyra perioder som han spelade.
Smeknamnet "Honken" kom för övrigt från hans pappa Erik som "hankade" (vilket blev "honkade") sig fram som vänsterytter i Brynäs fotbollslag.

Värvades från Strömsbro IF till AIK av Helge Bemer när deras målvakt Ove Andersson flyttade till IFK Umeå 1964. Senare även proffsutflykt till London Lions i England och efter några år i AIK även vidare till proffsspel i Indianapolis Racers (WHA) där han kom att bli lagkamrat med storspelare som Dave Keon och Pat Stapleton (sonen Mike Stapleton spelade för Leksand 2002/03).
Efter spel i HV 71 i två säsonger och tränaruppdrag i både Tranås och Stavanger så lurade gamle vännen från Tre Kronor, "Nicke" Johansson honom till Hanhals BK där tyvärr en skada stoppade honom från vidare spel efter redan ett några matcher.

Bor i Huskvarna.
