Hasse Jeppson

Jeppson began his career with Djurgården, transferring to Charlton Athletic, where he played 11 matches in 1951, before moving to Italy to join Atalanta (1951–1952). Jeppson was the second Swedish player to be transferred to an English team, after Dan Ekner at Portsmouth. He then moved to Napoli (1952–56) and Torino (1956–57) in the 1950s. In 1951, he was bought from Atalanta. In 1952, he was sold to Napoli for 105 million lira, a new world record transfer-fee (for this reason the Napoli's fans nicknamed him ''o' banco e' napule, the bank of Naples''). Jeppson played for Napoli from 1952 to 1956 scoring 52 goals. In 1956, Jeppson was sold to Torino. He retired in 1957. ==International career==

Jeppson played the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil for Sweden and scored two goals as Sweden finished third. He played 12 games in total for the Sweden national team and scored nine goals. His Swedish nickname was Hasse Guldfot (Hasse Golden Foot). == Career statistics ==
