Bo Ahlberg

Bo Ahlberg (pronounced [buː ²ɑːlbærj]; born 3 April 1951)[1] is a Swedish former handball player.

He played his entire career for IFK Kristianstad. He holds the records for most appearances and most goals scored in the top division for Kristianstad[2], as well as for most goals in all divisions for the club.[3] He made his debut for the team in 1971.[2] In 1974–75, he helped his team reach the Swedish Championship final, where they were beaten by HK Drott. In the following season, Ahlberg was the top scorer of the league.[4] Ahlberg, Lennarth Ebbinge and Lars-Göran Jönsson were known as the "Wild West line" (Vilda Västern-kedjan), as a result of often shooting at the first opportunity.[5] He made his last top-flight appearance for the club in 1986. He played 222 matches and scored 926 goals in the top division,[2] and scored 1724 goals in total for Kristianstad.[3] He also played 8 matches for Sweden, all in 1976.[1]
