Career

Born in Lindesberg on 13 February 1947, Berglund won the 1980 Swedish Rally with Anders Kulläng. In the Group B years he partnered Kulläng in a Mitsubishi (seventh on the 1982 Sanremo), Per Eklund in an Audi quattro (sixth in Finland 1985) and, in 1986, Stig Blomqvist at Peugeot: third in Argentina and fourth on the 1000 Lakes.
