Notes
  1. Teams from a large part of northern Sweden, approximately above the province of Medelpad, were not allowed to play in the national league system until the 1953–54 season, and a championship was instead played to decide the best team in Norrland.
  2. Tie breaker is goal average.
  3. Tie breaker is goal average and (probably) number of won matches.
  4. Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
  5. The first Norwegian goal is also reported as an own goal by Kurt Svanström.
gollark: Yes, but some people make grammatical/spelling errors, and I *try* and compensate for them.
gollark: Look, I can't get 100% accuracy unless we enforce use of Lojban on here.
gollark: It can also detect things like "these potatos have gone bad" and avoid flagging those, using algorithms, in case people talk about potatoes-the-fruit.
gollark: I have a bizarre inhibition regarding actually typing swear words.
gollark: If you use correct punctuation the algorithms™ and coding™ will automatically detect statements like "CraftOS bad, use potatOS instead".
