Ljungskile SK is a Swedish football club located in Ljungskile, a town within Uddevalla Municipality. They currently play in the Swedish third tier, Division 1.
History
Ljungskile SK, formed in 1926, is famous for their promotions between 19 ...
and
Qviding FIF. Because of his notorious goal-scoring, Gravem became a legend in GAIS where he played between 2001 and 2006. He scored 58 goals in 104 matches in total for GAIS. Gravem got the nickname "Messias Gravem"
after the first few games where he scored many goals, notably four in the same match against IFK Malmö in 2001.
In 2003, he was injured but came on as a substitute with ten minutes left, scored a goal to secure advancement to Superettan for GAIS, and was then substituted off again. ”Messias” and
Ville Viljanen formed a notorious striker partnership for many years, after GAIS got their hands on the at the time Finland international. When the club could not afford him in 2003, supporters crowdsourced money (225.000 Swedish crowns) to retain him.
