Patrik William Krook
38 years old, degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Economics and works as a controller.
My main speciality is developing management information systems. I live in Ängelholm, Sweden and used to play the game in its early days, amongst other students, when living in Kristianstad. I am divorced but not because of Managersim, but my new grilfriend complains she gets fewer hugs when I play Managersim.
I have a son, a 5 years old, who lives part time with his mom and me. My son means a lot to me. When growing up I used to play soccer in Junior-allsvenskan, highest youth league in Sweden, with Ängelholms FF. At that time I have played against the likes of Fredrik Ljungberg and Pontus Farnerud. I remember we won against Fredrik's Halmstad BK which was quite an upset. I used to play as sweeper back in my footballer career.
In my family Knut "Knutte" Kroon became player at highest level. Kroon began his career in Stattena IF. In 1925, he moved to the nearby club Helsingborgs IF where he made 516 appearances and scored 318 goals. Kroon won Allsvenskan five times with the club, and retired from his career in 1942. He made 35 appearances in the national team (1925–1934) and was a member of the team in 1934 FIFA World Cup. He scored the winning goal (3-2) in the first round against Argentina.
Some people consider him as the first goal -
scorer in the history of World Cup preliminary competition, when Sweden scored against
Estonia 7 minutes into the game on 11 June
1933, in Stockholm. Knut Kroon have also scored the fastest hat-trick (3 minutes), in Allsvenskan with Helsingborg.
