As well as his height, 6'4", he is an exceptional athlete, making him 'practically impossible' to mark in the air - as former Parma coach Carlo Ancelotti once said.

His aerial ability is complemented by decent passing and unselfish support play that has allowed other strikers to flourish alongside him.

He was instrumental in Sweden's laudable top three finish in the 1994 World Cup, scoring five goals in seven games.

In Italy, playing for Bari and Bologna, he has enjoyed similar success, scoring 38 goals in his first four seasons there.

The only blemish in his club career was a bizarre transfer to Lazio for whom he played only twice before returning to Bologna.

Very experienced at international level, boasting 73 caps and 31 goals.
