Secret message

THE Swedish soccer league trophy underwent keyhole surgery on Friday, revealing a secret inscription that will not please former UEFA president Lennart Johansson. Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter had reported in November that Ingemar Eklund, a soccer-mad silversmith who died recently, had engraved the words "Bajen forever" on the inside of the trophy, "Bajen" being the nickname of his favorite club Hammarby IF. Under the watchful gaze of the media, national team doctor Magnus Forssblad drilled a small hole in the trophy before feeding in the arthroscopic camera and revealed the inscription: "Djurgarden are best!" along with four names. Djurgarden is a rival of Johansson's favorite side AIK.
