Hysén started his professional career with IFK Göteborg and made his competitive debut for the team on 14 May 1979 in an Allsvenskan game against IFK Norrköping that ended 2–2 . During his first stint with Göteborg , he helped the team win the 1982 and 1983 Swedish Championships , and the 1981–82 UEFA Cup . PSV Eindhoven . He was named Swedens Footballer of the Year in 1983 and his form earned him a move to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands . He was often forced to play out of position , midfielder and even as a forward , and did not enjoy his time in the Netherlands . Return to IFK Göteborg . In 1985 , he returned to IFK Göteborg and helped the team reach the semi-finals of the 1985–86 European Cup before being eliminated by FC Barcelona on penalty kicks . He also helped the club win another Swedish Championship in 1987 and win their second UEFA Cup title in 1987 . Fiorentina . Following his success with IFK Göteborg and the Sweden national team , Hysén turned down an offer from Manchester United and their manager Alex Ferguson to instead join his former IFK Göteborg manager Sven-Göran Eriksson at Fiorentina in Serie A . Liverpool . Manchester United again expressed an interest in signing Hysén in 1989 , and invited the player over to England for a tour of Old Trafford and buffet lunch . He returned to Italy with the deal all but sealed ; Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards even rang Alex Ferguson to report that Hysén had shaken hands on the deal . Negotiations stalled on the £300,000 transfer , and Edwards and Ferguson flew out to Italy to conclude matters in person . However , upon arrival in Florence , they were told by Hyséns agent that the player had signed for Liverpool a few days previously , prompting the United management to make a move for Gary Pallister instead . Hysén made a sensational debut against Arsenal in the 1989 Charity Shield win at Wembley which made him an instant hero . Hysén settled in immediately at Liverpool , scoring his first Liverpool goal in their club record 9–0 mauling of Crystal Palace soon afterwards . He scored Liverpools eighth goal in this game , which was notable for having eight different players score for the same side . Alongside veteran club captain Alan Hansen and , in Hansens injury-enforced absence , the young defender Gary Ablett , Hysén was a major part of Liverpools success in the League championship of the 1989–90 season , when the Reds fought off a late challenge from Aston Villa and sealed their 18th top division title by a margin of nine points . It went slightly downhill for Hysén thereafter , with Hansen out with a long-term injury ( which led to his retirement ) . Manager Kenny Dalglishs resignation in February 1991 heralded the beginning of Hyséns end . The new manager Graeme Souness did not really share Dalglishs views on football which led to many changes being made upon his arrival , changes that did not suit the entire team and created some tension between him and some of the players , Hysén being one of those players . This tension together with some minor injuries made Souness less keen to keep him . Hysén did recover fitness for the 1991–92 season , but made just five league appearances , the last a 3-0 loss to Norwich City 22 February 1992 , before being given a free transfer . He is still remembered by Liverpool fans for his near-perfect intercepting tackle on Gary Lineker at Wembley Stadium . GAIS .

In a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification match on 19 October 1988 against England at Wembley Stadium , Hysén was awarded six wasps out of five by Expressen for a heroic defensive performance . Hysén captained Sweden at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy , when they lost all three of their first-round matches and went home surprisingly early . Coaching career . Hysén has been assistant coach for Torslanda IK .

Many people from the gay community were surprised due to the earlier incident . At the Stockholm Pride , he delivered a speech denouncing sports homophobia and laid to rest his 2001 airport incident . He stated that , I know that many LGBT people have been the victims of assaults and hate crimes . I can therefore understand if some people have been upset by the airport incident , so I want to be clear : I think that it is completely unacceptable that anybody should be subjected to assaults , insults or hate crimes due to their sexual orientation or gender identity...The incident had been blown out of proportion in the media...In order to finally flush the Frankfurt Airport punch down the toilet : it is not the case that I beat up a gay person . I categorically deny that...Im not proud that I took a swing at him , but I am proud that I have integrity and that I reacted . In the same speech he asked How easy would it be for a sixteen-year-old boy who plays football to come out as gay to his team mates ? In March 2011 his youngest son , Anton , a professional footballer himself , came out of the closet to the media . Honours .
