Timeline

1974

Lars Jesper Blomqvist (born 5 February 1974) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a left midfielder.

1992

After an early spell at Tavelsjö IK, Blomqvist signed for then recently formed Umeå FC in 1992.

In the spring portion of his first season for the club, he helped them to the Division 2 Norra Norrland title, promoting the club to Division 1 Norra for the autumn.

At the time this was the second tier of Swedish football.

1993

He played at IFK Göteborg, where he won four straight Allsvenskan league titles between 1993 and 1996, and Manchester United, where he was part of the team that won the treble in 1999, consisting of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Subsequently, he signed for IFK Göteborg on 11 September 1993.

Blomqvist played a part in the club's Allsvenskan win that year.

1994

A full international between 1994 and 2002, Blomqvist won 30 caps for the Sweden national team and helped them to third place at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States.

He scored eight goals in 24 league appearances en route to the league title in 1994.

Furthermore, he played a part in Sweden's advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup and scored in the club's 3–1 win over Manchester United in the Champions League.

This performance caught the eye of United manager Alex Ferguson and helped the team qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament.

1995

Another title followed in 1995, with Blomqvist's goal against Helsingborgs IF, when he performed a variant of the Pelé runaround move, voted goal of the season.

In his last season for Göteborg, he played against former club Umeå, who had reached the Allsvenskan for the first time in their history.

1996

In 1996, Blomqvist was voted Fan's Player of the Year and Midfielder of the Year.

At the end of the 1996 season, he signed for newly crowned Serie A champions Milan.

In his first season of Italian football, Milan failed to win a trophy, and Blomqvist often sat on the bench.

He nearly decided against going to Old Trafford because he did not want a repeat of this season.

1997

Blomqvist was subsequently sold to Serie A runners up Parma in the summer of 1997.

Blomqvist enjoyed more regular football, although the club finished 6th in the league and missed out on the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Swede's sole league goal for the club was scored in a 4–0 win over Napoli at Stadio San Paolo.

1998

Manchester United purchased Blomqvist as a backup to Ryan Giggs in the early stages of the 1998-99 season, for a fee of £4.4 million, three years after manager Alex Ferguson had first attempted to sign him for United from IFK Gothenburg.

1999

He featured in enough games to win a Premier League winner's medal in the 1999 season, scoring his only goal for the club in a 4–1 away win against Everton.

He received an FA Cup winners medal despite being an unused substitute in the final.

He did, however, start against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

He came close to scoring before eventually being replaced by Teddy Sheringham, who later scored a late equaliser after Bayern's early goal.

United went on to win the match 2–1.

Due to a serious knee injury suffered soon after the Champions League final, Blomqvist did not play football in the next two seasons, which resulted in Manchester United deciding not to renew his contract (During his time out, due to this injury, he did media work for MUTV, United's in-house television channel, and presented his own cookery show called "Cooking With Jesper").

2001

He remained on a week-to-week deal at Old Trafford before finally leaving when Ferguson persuaded Everton manager Walter Smith to offer the Swedish international a short term contract at Goodison Park, from November 2001 until the end of the season.

2002

Blomqvist played on the wings opposite compatriot Niclas Alexandersson, and scored his first goal for Everton against Sunderland in January 2002.

Injury problems persisted, however, and new manager David Moyes allowed him to leave the club in June 2002.

He had a trial at Middlesbrough, but was unhappy with the club's handling of the situation, labelling it "a bit unprofessional".

Instead he signed for Alan Curbishley's Charlton Athletic on a free transfer.

His spell at The Valley was even briefer, and he made just three league appearances for the South London side before calling time on an injury-hit five seasons in England.

Again struggling with injury, Blomqvist returned to his native Sweden after only four games with Charlton.

He signed on a short term deal with Djurgårdens IF.

This proved unpopular among supporters of IFK Göteborg, who labelled him "Judas".

2003

He returned to Swedish football in 2003 with Djurgården, where he won his final Allsvenskan title, before initially retiring in 2005.

2008

An injury crisis prompted a playing return for Enköping in 2008.

2009

Most recently he was the playing assistant manager of Superettan side Hammarby from December 2009 to November 2010.

2011

The defending champions had an equally disappointing season, finishing 11th in Serie A and failing to qualify for European football.
