Sports
journalist Bengt Grive was born in 1921, so he had actually seen most
of the great Swedish players in his professional life. Grive wrote in
his book Glitter och Stänk (1989):
"Kurre
Hamrin was a dribbler and opportunist but his big 'number' was the
nutmeg. But there is no way he could compare to i Torbjörn and his
feints. He didn't have the Göteborgers action range his shot was not
remarkable in comparison. Gunnar Gren was techincally at the same level
as Nilsson, but slower: Gren's footwork was somewhat heavy. Gunnar
Nordahl easily beats Torbjörn in terms of shooting power, but hardly in
anything else. Ralf Edström was better in acrobacy, but not on the
floor. His vision was a excellent as Torbjörn's, but he lacked pace.
Nacka Skoglund's dribbling ability was more spectacular and he was as
quick, but his shot was clearly inferiour and his defensive work was not
impressive."
