Magnus Carl Hedman (pronounced [ˈmǎŋːnɵs ˈhěːdman]; born 19 March 1973) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He played 58 matches for the Sweden national team, and represented his country at the 1994 and 2002 FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA Euro 2000 and 2004.

[2] He won the 1992 Allsvenskan championship with AIK and eventually moved abroad to play for English club Coventry City in July 1997.

[2] Aged 24 on 13 December 1997, Hedman debuted in a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and only lost his place again in February due to injury.

The next season saw youngster Chris Kirkland take the shirt from Hedman, but the Sky Blues were relegated from the Premier League during that campaign.

[8][9][10] Hedman made 36 appearances for Celtic in three years, but due to injuries he failed to make a major impact on the number 1 spot, where Rab Douglas and later David Marshall were favoured by manager Martin O'Neill.

[19] Hedman was chosen as a backup for first-choice keeper Thomas Ravelli in the Sweden squad at the 1994 World Cup alongside Lasse Eriksson.
