Björn Hellberg
Björn Hellberg (born 4 August 1944) is a Swedish sports journalist, author, tennis oracle and TV personality, best known as co-host and referee of the television show "På spåret". He was born in Borås, Sweden, but his family soon moved to Laholm.

Oldsberg gave Hellberg the Norwe ...
