It is 40 years since IFK Gothenburg took home the UEFA Cup.

They defeated German Hamburger 4-0 over two matches.

What does Glenn Hysén, then midfielder in blue and white, remember?

- The first thing I remember is that I was injured in the second match.

After 20 minutes.

It was like a saw went straight into the groin.

Our replacement Glenn Schiller had been locked in the toilet during the first quarter, but came out in the end, jumped in and made a cannon match.

Are you celebrating the anniversary in any way?

- We were supposed to have a giant party in Partille Arena, but it was canceled.

Do not know why.

It would have been a mega party.

But I will celebrate properly anyway, says Hysén.

"Out to eat"

Tord Holmgren, goal scorer in the first final, explains:

- We would have rented Partille Arena, but not enough people signed up.

It is quiet.

Some of the guys will be seen and go out and eat anyway, so it will be a good evening.

Today, IFK Gothenburg is in eleventh place in the Allsvenskan.

The road to Europe is long.

Glenn Hysén reasoned about it.

- I will not say "bow or" pray for that.

I just wish it goes well for IFK.

Right now it's going to hell, and I'm suffering with the team, he says.
