Nils Liedholm, born on October 8, 1922 in Valdemarsvik, Östergötland County, Sweden, was an association football player, association football coach and bandy player. Death is recorded on November 5, 2007, at the age of 85. The listed height was 183 cm.
My Take
Nils Liedholm belongs to football history in a way modern fans rarely grasp. The Swedish midfielder, fondly called Il Barone in Italy, formed the legendary Gre-No-Li attacking trio with Gunnar Gren and Gunnar Nordahl at AC Milan and for Sweden. What I admire is the full arc: a graceful player who became an equally respected coach, spending decades shaping Italian football. He even started as a bandy player, which says something about the all-round athleticism of his era. Liedholm passed away in 2007 at 85, but the reverence around his name in Milan tells you he was something close to a club institution.
