Athletic career

Ice hockey

In 1924, at age 17, Larsson made his debut for

Stora Grabbars Märke, handed out by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association.^[5] He won two Swedish championships – in 1932 and 1933 – with Hammarby IF, the club's first domestic titles.^[6] After 13 seasons with the club, Larsson retired from ice hockey in 1936. He returned to Hammarby IF a few years later, working as the head coach for two seasons between 1938 and 1940.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Football

In 1924–25, Larsson made his debut for Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, the inaugural season of Sweden's new first-tier football league. He played 11 games as a midfielder, scoring two goals, but was unable to save the club from a relegation.^[7]^[4]^[3] He continued to play football with the club in Division 2, the second tier, until 1933 and made 79 league appearances in total.^[8]

Bandy

Larsson also played bandy with Hammarby IF. In the 1920s, Hammarby pushed for a Swedish Championship title, which by then was decided by a cup, but got knocked out in the later stages of the play-offs. In 1931, Larsson competed in the inaugural season of Allsvenskan, a national league.^[9]
