Dundee United statement

[edit]

I think the statement "In 1996 he moved to Dundee United where he joined up with fellow Swedes Göran Marklund and Kjell Olofsson" is a bit odd. I have no objection to the mention of Kjell Olofsson who joined Dundee United around the same time as Lars Zetterlund and who left at about the same time, as both were regulars in the first team together for over two years. Göran Marklund on the other hand did not join the club until a year later and made only about 3 appearances in the first team, so his inclusion here seems odd, especially as other Swedes also played for the club at this time - Jonas Wirmola who had a short loan spell not long after Lars' joined the club and Mikael Andersson who had a loan spell the following season. Most notable though is Magnus Sköldmark who joined in the summer of 1997 (before Göran) and regularly played in the first team with Lars. If a second Swede is to be mentioned Magnus would seem to be a more logical and relevant choice than Göran. Dunarc (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to "In 1996 he moved to Dundee United where he joined up with fellow Swede Kjell Olofsson". In addition to my concerns above, reading it again I think it sounded like Marklund and Olofsson were both at the club when he joined in 1996, but only Olofsson was (and only just!).
