Info:

Thörn's selection for the national team in 1930 was sensational, as IFK Grängesberg was then playing in Division 4. He is the only player from Division 4 to have been selected for the Swedish national soccer team. He played a total of two senior internationals, both in 1930, against Estonia (5-1) and Latvia (5-0), where he also scored one of the goals.

After the 1934 World Cup, Thörn joined Örebro SK , becoming Örebro's first national soccer player. He was selected for the national B team that same year and scored a goal in a 3-1 win over Norway. He made his debut for Örebro SK in July 1934 in a 4-0 win over IFK Västerås in Division 2 Norra. His first goal for the club came in September 1934 in a 3-4 defeat against Hallstahammars SK . However, Thörn played only six games for ÖSK before returning to IFK Grängesberg. He ended his soccer career at the club at the age of 38.

Spoiler: show
- Thörn was a tough, physically strong player with a nose for goal. By charging at the opposing goal, he caused many penalties, which he then took himself, and which usually ended in a goal.

- Thörn scored 328 goals in nine seasons, 59 of them in one season.

- Arvid Thörn's stay at Örebro SK and his soccer were brief.

Before Thörn had time to make his debut for Närkeklubben, homesickness overtook him, so he quickly returned, albeit less happily for the Örebro club, one must believe, to his beloved IFK Grängesberg.

Well with this player is that I culminate the representatives of the national team of sweden 1934, I know that they are missing, unfortunately there is not much information about them and this last one, well....
I think he is the one that has me more confused, he was part of the World Cup squad being a fourth category player, I do not know if I should subtract his numbers, but with respect to the amateur and professional state of soccer at that time, I do not think it is unreasonable to give him those yellow numbers, he scored 1 goal with the national team with very weak teams like Latvia and Estonia, and in a combined B against Norway, maybe I was too generous, I hope at least opinions about this player in question that I see him more as a physical tank.

Right, I forgot, here is an image of a description of it in its original language, in case the page in question disappears in the future:
