The clips with Håkan Lönngren as commentator for Nybro Vikings went viral about 13 years ago.
The enraptured hockey supporter had no inhibitions – but the material was never actually broadcast.
– The technicians secretly recorded me, says Håkan Lönngren.
Former singer in the dance band Nonnes and later traveling tobacco salesman for 30 years. But it was especially when Håkan Lönngren was a hockey commentator that he became really viral, then for the home team Nybro Vikings.
– When you immerse yourself in a hockey match, you almost go into falsetto in principle. In such a situation, it is very easy for something to slip out, he says.
Nothing was broadcast
In the viral clips, Håkan Lönngren can be heard commenting – without any further inhibitions. For example, “I would have brought up a club bastard right between the eyes if I had been lying there”, “what the hell are you arguing about you fucking idiot” and “look, kill him!” were just some of the comments that began to flourish online about 13 years ago.
But in fact, none of it was actually broadcast. When he was dragged into the match, he was told to calm down.
– It happened that I had my profanities and asked someone to go to hell. It has certainly happened, he says.
“Ask the judge to go to hell”
Actually, someone in the radio tower secretly recorded him – and it’s the clips that have gone viral.
– When I wasn’t on air, I behaved like any other fan. Then you could both kill the judge and ask the judge to go to hell.
And he received warnings when it came to the swearing, then from Radio Kalmar, which says that you shouldn’t swear on the radio. That at that time you swore and used certain words on the radio was not done at that time, says Håkan Lönngren.
– Today you swear on both radio and TV, it seems perfectly legal, he says.
