Player profile

Overview

Karl Oskar Olsson was born on 4 September 1892 in Göteborg. His IFK Göteborg first-team career began in the 1910 season. He made his competitive debut on 29 May 1910 against IFK Norrköping in Svenska Serien, a match that finished 4–1.

He spent 13 seasons with IFK Göteborg's first team and made 221 appearances and scoring 51 goals.

Olsson won the Swedish championship with IFK Göteborg in 1910 and 1918. Olsson made 4 senior international appearances for Sweden, scoring 1 goal.

Olsson died on 11 December 1971, aged 79.

For seasons before 1922, surviving participation records are not always complete. Match and goal totals from that period should therefore be read as the best available documented record.
