Canopus
Catchy melody and nice string/synth arrangement.
 
But you're right. Very few remember him except in name. He doesn't even have his own article in the Swedish version of Wikipedia, despite participating in two winter Olympics not so long ago. Strange.
 
Men jag förstod faktiskt vartenda ord.
 

Tack så mycket Canopus, kul att du gillade den! :)
 
There has been so many prizes and documentaries about Stenmark since the 80s, but not a single word about Halvarsson, Fjällberg, Wallner & Co. Stig Strand has been mentioned sometimes only because he is the same age and from the same village as Stenmark, and the fact that he has been expert commentary in swedish TV for 20 years.

Really nice melody and performance Lasse. I would love to see the lyrics cos it's a genius subject matter. You are a man after my own heart. Quirk to the utmost.

Thanks a lot mate! We should start a club, the Quirky Quarrymen. 
 
Here you go, a sort of direct translation:
 
Chorus:
Only a few remember Lars Goeran Halvarsson, Lars Goeran H (and there's a play with the "å" ('aw') -sound going on as well).
 
Bridge 1:
The whole Sweden were watching
When Stenmark was ready to go
The whole Sweden were stopping
But it wasn't for Fjällberg and Strand
 
Bridge 2:
He peaked at the wrong decade
What a tough competition
If he had skied later on
In the 90s he'd been a king!
 
Sorry about the strange sentences, its hard to translate word for word.

No crits -- nice retro sound :)
