Kjell Olofsson (born 23 July 1965 in
Career
Dundee United
1996–97 season
Olofsson joined Scottish club
1997–98 season
In his second season, he again finished top goalscorer with 23 goals. The season started promisingly for United, with an early 17–0 aggregate
1998–99 season
His final season at United was less successful. He failed to score and United failed to win in the opening six games and this was followed by the sacking of manager Tommy McLean. However, he was firmly in the plans of new manager Paul Sturrock, and in Sturrock's second game in charge (a 2–2 draw with local rivals Dundee) he netted his first goal of the season. Though 7 days later, in a match that would be United's first win of the season, it would turn sour for Kjell as he received only his second caution and first ever red card in Scottish football in the 3–1 win over St Johnstone on 26 September 1998. He was suspended for the following game, a 1–0 win over Aberdeen, though despite the win he was straight back in the team the next week. United fans had to wait another seven games to see his second goal of the season, which came in the 3–0 win against Aberdeen on 28 November 1998. On 2 January 1999 Kjell scored his third goal of the season in the 3–1 win over Dundee, a game that would trigger Kjell's scoring form as he scored seven goals in the next 12 games. His final goal for the club came at Pittodrie against Aberdeen in the 4–0 win on 17 April 1999, while his final appearance was in a 2–1 loss to Celtic on the final day of the season (23 May 1999).
Several years later Kjell made a cameo appearance at
Moss FK
