Daniel Paul Gustav Nannskog (born 22 May 1974) is a Swedish former professionalfootballer who played as astriker. During a club career that spanned between 1994 and 2010, he representedHögaborg,Malmö FF,Djurgården,Assyriska,Sylvia,Landskrona BoIS,Sichuan Guancheng andStabæk IF. A full international between 2007 and 2009, he won sevencaps and scored two goals for theSweden national team.
Nannskog is currently a footballpundit on Swedish TV channelSVT.
Nannskog started up atHögaborg, a small football club from his home cityHelsingborg inScania, the southernmost of Sweden, as a young boy. However, from the age 15 he quit football to concentrate onhandball. After some persuasion, he started to play football again at the age of 19. After his comeback, he played two seasons for Högaborg, before switching toAllsvenskan sideMalmö FF. His time at the club was not particular successful, but a goal he scored for them was very important as it sent Malmö to theUEFA Cup. The next seasons were spent in Swedish second tier, theSuperettan.
When he was 27, he was brought toLandskrona BoIS, by coachJanne Jönsson. His first season there they reached second place and got promoted, with Nannskog as the league's top scorer with 21 goals. He followed Landskrona up to Allsvenskan and did very well, becoming the club's top scorer with 11 goals, playing an important part in them finishing just above relegation play-off. In the middle of the Swedish 2003 season, he moved on to China.
Nannskog played for Swedish Landskrona BoIS from 2001 when the club played in second tierSuperettan. He was involved in the promotion of Landskrona BoIS to Swedish top tier league, Allsvenskan. And his success continued during the following year. Already in the first match, Nannskog scored a goal as Landskrona BoIS in a remarkable match defeated their old rivalsHelsingborgs IF as Landskrona BoIS won 6–2 in front of an attendance of 12.000 atLandskrona IP. Together with BoIS' other forward,Danijel Milovanović, both of them became a feared top-duo that led their recently promoted club to the top position ofAllsvenskan at the break forthe World Cup in Japan and South Korea. After the eight first matches, Landskrona BoIS had won five matches, drawn three times and never lost. When forward colleague Milovanović got seriously injured against rivalsMalmö FF (an injury from which Milovanović never recovered), this surprising success ended for Nannskog's club, but Nannskog himself continued to score.
Nannskog left Landskrona BoIS in summer of 2003 to join the Chinese clubSichuan Guancheng on a two-year deal. He went on to stay for a year-and a half, but terminated his contract in order to play for his old coach Janne Jönsson atStabæk in the 2005 season.
His first season at Stabæk was very successful, with his club being promoted in style. "The Body" Nannskog was also named top scorer with 27 goals in 29 games.
Nannskogs debut in theNorwegian top division was successful. They finished fifth, just outside an UEFA Cup spot. Nannskog was crowned top scorer with his 19 goals, one goal ahead of team-mateVeigar Páll Gunnarsson. Nannskog and Stabæk continued their progress, and for a second time in a row, he managed to score 19 goals, but this time finishing behind Brann'sThorstein Helstad, who scored 22. However, Stabæk did better in the league, finishing second behind Brann. They were in front half way, but did not have the edge in the second part of the season.
Stabæk have played well in the first part of the 2008 season with Nannskog an integral part, like when he scored two goals in the away match againstHam-Kam (2–0 victory) in round 5[1][permanent dead link]. The Norwegian media felt it was time theSweden national team took a look at him again with a possible inclusion in theEuro 2008 squad, following his winning goal againstRosenborg on 4 May. However, he did not make the squad. On 14 September Nannskog scored four goals in a 6–0 victory overStrømsgodset, taking him to the top of the goal scoring chart with 13 goals – helping Stabæk with a six-point advantage with six rounds to go. On 24 September, Nannskog scored two goals and made one assist in the semifinal of theNorwegian Cup, helping Stabæk to a 3–0 victory overMolde. A few days later, on 29 September Nannskog scored his 99th and 100th goal against Molde. This time in a league match.
Stabæk won the league in stylish fashion. Nannskog was crowned top scorer of the league with his 16 goals, four more than fellow team-mate and SwedeJohan Andersson. He was denied 'the double' as they lost in the Norwegian Cup final againstVålerenga.
On 8 March Stabæk claimed their first trophy of the season when they won the Norwegian Superfinal against last season's cup winners Vålerenga by 3 goals to 1 with Nannskog scoring the opener.
Nannskog scored a hat-trick on 5 April as Stabæk turned 1–3 to a 3–3 draw in the third league round. Nannskog was injured for just over a month before making a comeback on 24 May, scoring a brace in a 3–0 victory overStart in theTippeligaen. He soon got injured again and so far only restricted him to 11 league games this season (5 goals).
In total, Nannskog scored 123 goals in 172 games for Stabæk in all competitions.
Nannskog failed to return from his injuries and subsequently retired from football.
Nannskog's debut for theSweden national team came 14 January 2007 againstVenezuela. His first goal for his national team came againstEcuador on 21 January 2007, in a game which ended 1–1. In January 2009 Nannskog was called up to the Swedish squad to face theUnited States andMexico during their annual North-American tour. On 25 January 2009, Nannskog scored his second goal for Sweden in a 3–2 loss against the United States.
