Encyclopedia
Martin Nathaniel Dahlin (born 16 April 1968 in Uddevalla
) is a former Swedish
football player.
, but lived as a child in Lund
.
. He was part of the Swedish national team which finished third in the 1994 FIFA World Cup
, scoring four goals in the tournament. He also participated in the team which reached the semifinals of UEFA Euro 1992.
In 1993 he was selected as best Swedish player of the year, winning Guldbollen
.
He played for Malmö FF
, Borussia Mönchengladbach
, AS Roma, Hamburger SV
and Blackburn Rovers
. The most successful time of his career he spent with Borussia Mönchengladbach with whom he won the German Cup
in 1995 along with Stefan Effenberg
.
Dahlin transferred from AS Roma to Blackburn Rovers in mid-1997 and made 21 appearances in the 1997–98 season, scoring four goals.
In the 1998–99 season, he only played five games when an injury in a training game ruled him out for the rest of the season and contributed to his retirement from the game after a short spell at Hamburger SV in 1999.
Blackburn Rovers later sued their insurance company who had refused to pay out over the injury claiming that normal wear and tear could have been a contributing factor. Although the initial verdict was given in favour of the club, in 2005 the Court of Appeal
overturned the verdict and sent it back to the lower court. On 12 April 2006, the High Court ruled in favour of the insurance company, decreeing that the player probably had a pre-existing condition. This decision left Blackburn about £4 million out-of-pocket
