(Reuters) - Kurt Hamrin, Sweden's World Cup runner-up and Fiorentina's all-time top scorer, has died aged 89, the Swedish Football Association said on Sunday.

Hamrin, nicknamed "Little Bird" for the speed and grace he showed on the wing, helped Sweden reach the 1958 World Cup final with four goals in the tournament, and was the last surviving player from the final, which they lost 5-2 to Pele's Brazil.
