Stig Håkan Mild (born 14 June 1971) is a Swedish former professional
Club career
Born in
He became a regular in the team and won another championship title the next season, as well as winning
Håkan Mild then moved abroad to Swiss club Servette FC where he won the Swiss Super League title the first season. He then played in the 1994 World Cup, where he was substituted on in two games, and played the last three games—quarter-final, semi-final and third place match—from start scoring one goal and assisting one. He returned to Servette FC to play another season but his first visit on the continent was not very successful and he returned to IFK Göteborg for the second half of the 1995 season. He led the club to another Swedish Championship the following season, but left the club again, this time to play in Spain and Real Sociedad.
He played 49 matches in Primera Division over two seasons, and was a member of the squad that finished third in 1997–98, the club's best result during the 1990s. He returned home to Gothenburg and IFK a second time, but had to tamper with injury problems the second half of 1998. He played another three seasons before trying his luck in another club abroad, this time Wimbledon F.C. in England. This proved to be his least successful stay abroad, playing only nine matches over a little more than one season. The low, but undisclosed, fee for his transfer to Wimbledon gave Mild a bad conscience, so he chose to not accept the almost 500,000 SEK (around US$50,000 at that time) of match bonuses he had not yet been paid.[1] This, amongst other things, has given Håkan Mild a special status amongst the IFK fans.
He returned in time to help IFK stay in
He played a total of 459 matches over 18 years for IFK Göteborg, and is regarded as one of the club's greatest players ever not only due to his work on the field, but also for his club spirit, leader qualities and work ethics.[2] He has only represented one Swedish club on higher levels, and statements such as "IFK is my home"[3] and "IFK has always meant so much to me that it sometimes has become a problem"[4] has only cemented the view on him amongst supporters as one of the greatest.
International career
He played 74 games for the
Personal life
In 2001, he did a running test called the Pacer test and scored a record high of 19.2 which is the best ever recorded.
