Bengt Lindskog (25 February 1933 – 27 January 2008) was a Swedish footballer who played at both professional and international levels, as a midfielder.
Born in Furulund, Lindskog played club football in Sweden and Italy for Helsingborg, Malmö FF, Udinese, Inter Milan, Lecco and IFK Malmö.[1]
Lindskog earned 14 caps for the Sweden national team between 1955 and 1965. Before the 1958 World Cup, which was held on home soil in Sweden, Lindskog transferred from Udinese to Inter; his new contract did not allow him to participate in the tournament.[2] He did, however, participate in qualifying matches for the 1966 World Cup.
