In a statement, Janne Andersson says this about the price:
- It feels fantastic.
Considering how much sausage I have eaten over the years, I can say that I am a good representative of the sausage.
But that I would get this nice price I had never expected.
The Swedish national team captain rarely misses a chance for a hot dog when he visits various sports venues around the country.
- Everywhere I have gone, I have started eating hot dogs with bread.
When I go to a match, I arrive half an hour before and I buy a sausage with bread.
Then I can go and buy another one!
And then the match can begin.
In addition to diplomas and flowers, Andersson will also be awarded a sausage statue in the form of a glass sausage on an iron fork, designed by glass artist Kjell Engman.
