He has made 437 competitive matches in AIK.
After the season is over, Bear Carlson puts his boots on the shelf.
I feel proud of my long career, Bertan tells the AIK website.
Bear Carlson He made his first-team debut in AIK in the spring of 2003. With hundreds of matches in black and yellow jerseys in his bags, the 36-year-old center back is now choosing to end his career.
After this year’s Allsvenskan season, he put his shoes on the shelf.
– Since the year I turned 12, I have played football for AIK, and it has shaped my life to this day. I feel a sense of gratitude towards you for the experiences you were a part of and the love you received, as he told the AIK website and continues:
“I feel proud”
I feel proud of my long career and what I have been able to achieve, despite the fact that in my world it is difficult to feel content and peace.
From being a constant in AIK’s defensive line, Karlsson has received less playing time in recent years. Among other things, the 36-year-old had injury issues that kept him off the field.
“The last seasons weren’t what I wanted”
– When I now finish my season as a player, I seek to understand that the last few seasons have not been what I wanted. I hope you’ll remember me as the player I was before. He says I am working to be able to go out to the football field for the last time as an AIK player.
During his career, Bear Carlson has won two SM golds (2009 and 2018) and one Gold Cup (2009) with AIK.
