Mourning in the world of football. He passed away in these hours Kurt Hamrinthe unforgettable Swedish champion who had made generations of fans fall in love by playing in Italy between the 60s and 70s wearing the shirts of Juventus, Padova, Fiorentina, Milan and also Naples. Above all in Florence he was able to leave his mark: he wore the Viola shirt for nine years, making almost 300 appearances from 1958 to 1967 and becoming its icon. With the Swedish national team shirt, however, he finished second in the 1958 World Cup behind the unforgettable Brazil Of Pele.
He arrived to wear the blue shirt in 1969, on the decline of his Italian career and after having already worn the Milan shirt in the previous two years. With Napoli, Hamrin – nicknamed ‘The Little Bird’ for his elegant and light way of being on the pitch – he will collect 34 appearances and five goals, playing as a protagonist in the second year. He will retire at the end of the Italian experience but will formally play the last matches of his career in his homeland, with the shirt of Stockholm.
The Italian club also wanted to remember him on social media in these hours: «The President Aurelio De Laurentiis, the managers, the technical staff, the team and the entire SSC Napoli express their condolences and emotion for the passing of Kurt Hamrin, a great footballer who Napoli he had the privilege of having in his ranks for two seasons.”
