Jan Östlund (born August 27, 1919 - † July 31, 1982 ) was a Swedish football player . The striker played an international match for the Swedish national team in 1942 .

Career

Östlund played 201 games for Halmstads BK in the 1930s and 1940s, 44 of them in the Allsvenskan . In 1937 he made his debut with the then second division team in the competition team, in the 5-0 away win at IFK Kristianstad the attacker scored three goals. In the 1941/42 season he contributed ten goals to the promotion to the top division, although he was in the promotion games against Lundby IF in early June 1942 in the 1-1 away draw and the 2-1 return win without scoring.

Almost three weeks after the promotion games, Östlund played an international match: In the 3-0 win over Denmark, he completed the offensive around the future international professionals Gunnar Nordahl , Henry Carlsson and Gunnar Gren . The meeting of the Northern European teams was his only appearance in the national jersey. Until 1945, the offensive player was still hunting for goals for HBK in the first division. In the 3-0 win over Degerfors IF in September 1942 alongside Gösta Göransson and Åke Höög as a successful goal scorer, he scored his first first division goal. By the time he left, he had scored five goals in the Allsvenskan.

Then Östlund moved within Halmstad to local rivals and league rivals IS Halmia . For this he ran on in the Allsvenskan until 1949, in 60 games he scored twelve times.

Nothing is currently known about the further life of Östlund - especially away from the football field.
