I haven't been able to shake it off and the criticism from my own supporters has probably also contributed to me not feeling so well. Some days I've actually thought that "it's not worth it to get this crap back", says the 34-year-old ice hockey defender in an interview with Norran.

After Saturday's SM semi-final exit against Brynäs, it became clear that Nilsson is now leaving Skellefteå to play abroad. Last year, he was part of the team that won the SM gold with the club.

Over two years ago, Nilsson went viral after he told in a TV interview with C More that doctors had found clots in his lungs.
