Trivia

Due to the popularity of Elfsberg, rumours about his personality flourish. The most widespread tells that he has a sexual fetish known as coprophilia, hence his soubriquet "Bajs-Elvis" (roughly translated as "Turd Elvis"). This rumour is still to be substantiated and circulates mostly at jest or as an urban legend.
