Leif Larsson was both presenter and commentator when Tipsextra broadcast mainly English league football live on Saturday afternoons between November and March.
This was during a time when live football was unusual and the program, which also offered trotting, attracted large audiences.
Lars-Gunnar Björklund was the man behind the idea for the popular program. Leif Larsson became a partner in the implementation. He was the one who commented on the most matches in the program of all time, writes SVT.
