Erik Wahlstedt

Ulf Erik Wahlstedt (born 16 April 1976) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a defender and midfielder. He is best remembered for his time with Helsingborgs IF with which he won two Allsvenskan titles and four Svenska Cupen titles, but also represented BK Astrio, IFK Göteborg, and Esbjerg fB during a career that spanned between 1993 and 2012. He won two caps for the Sweden national team between 1998 and 2004 and represented his country at UEFA Euro 2004.

Club career Beginning his career with BK Astrio, Wahlstedt signed for the Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg in 1994 and helped the team win the 1994, 1995, and 1996 Allsvenskan titles. He also represented IFK Göteborg in the UEFA Champions League. Nonetheless, he was dissatisfied with his amount of playing time in IFK, and was wanted by Norwegian clubs such as Skeid and possibly Viking. He ended up signing for Helsingborgs IF in 1997 and helped the club win the 1999 Allsvenskan and a Svenska Cupen title before leaving for Esbjerg fB in Denmark. Six years later, on 28 April 2004, he won his second and last international cap in a friendly 2–2 draw with Portugal. He was named in the Sweden men's national football team for UEFA Euro 2004 in Portugal, but did not play.
