The Swedish defender, 26, told BBC Sport: "It started when I played in Portugal. I played a game for the B team at Benfica and then they called me the iceman.

"Maybe it is because I'm from Sweden and it's quite cold up there. Or because I'm quite cool and calm on the pitch with the ball, I don't know. Maybe it's a combination of that.

"I like to play ice hockey and my brothers play as well, it's a sport that I love. In a different world, maybe I could have tried to become professional in that as well.

"I got the opportunity once to play with the Manchester Storm here in Manchester and that was a lot of fun.

"I hadn't been on the ice for quite a time so it was very fun to be out there with the guys and to skid around a little bit."
