Olle Nyström (18 July 1928 – 18 July 2002) was a Swedish football player and manager, best known for representing Hammarby IF and later coaching the club for two years.
AIK
Nyström started to play football with local club Väsby IK, before joining AIK in Allsvenskan before the start of the 1947–48 season.[1] He made his debut for the club in a 0–1 away loss against Halmstads BK on 27 July 1947.[2] He would, however, have a hard time breaking into the side, and only made four league appearances in his two seasons with the club, leaving in 1949.[3][1]
Hammarby
Before the 1950–51 season, Nyström joined rivals Hammarby IF in Division 2, Sweden's second tier.[4] He soon established himself as a starting centre-back for Hammarby, becoming known for his heading skills and tackling ability.[3]
In 1953–1954, Hammarby won a promotion to Allsvenskan in an unbeaten season, whilst using only 15 players, Nyström included.[5][6] He won one cap for the Swedish national B team on 19 September 1954, in a 0–2 home loss against Norway.[7]
Nyström went on to play five full seasons with Hammarby in Allsvenskan, making 171 appearances for the club in total, before retiring at the end of 1959, aged 31.[8] He failed to score a single competitive goal throughout his senior career.[9]
