Åshöjdens BK is a book series about a fictional football club in northwestern Scania, Sweden, created by Max Lundgren. It also appeared as a comic strip in Buster.
Plot Appearing in a series of four novels, it depicts a football club being promoted across a promotion and relegation-based Swedish league system before losing the Allsvenskan qualifying game. In 1985, a TV series based on the book series was made.
Sometimes, sports journalists talk of the "real Åshöjdens BK" when a club, often in rural districts, within some seasons is quickly promoted from the lower to higher divisions. An example is Ljungskile SK's promotion during the early to mid-1990s.
