"It's been growing for quite a while. I kept thinking that I would do my last year in Switzerland. I'm 37 years old and I have a lot of pain in my body; I have osteoarthritis in my hip," he tells P4 Dalarna .

Galante Carlström played four seasons for Västerås and 14 years for IBF Falun before moving to Swiss club Wiler-Ersigen for this season. He has seven Swedish Championship gold medals with IBF Falun, five Champions Cup titles, three World Cup gold medals and awards as the world's best player. He is also the all-time leading scorer in the Super League with 701 goals. No one else has even reached 400 goals.
